1st off cheapest replacement for tractor tires....used truck tires are cheap and fit the tractor for around $20 bucks mounted... doesnt matter if they are slick, as long as they are not cracking.. So the tire dealers love selling off old mostly slick truck tires.. its a win win for them as they dont have to pay the disposal fee, and get money to boot... These tires are availible in every town and tire shop. So lots of really cheap people do this.
2nd... great for front end loader work where narrow farm tires will sink due to weight. reg 6.50 or 7.00 will sink every time and bury the tractor in mud or sand.
3rd.. great for folk in blow sand country as they also help keep it from sinking.
negatives, they may not turn as fast as ribbed tire, and do put a bit more strain the the bearings. Ford had two sets of bearings on the 5000,, one for the larger tires and the regular ones, so there is a difference in pressure on the bearings and spindles. Flat wise, they are no better than tractor tires in mesquite thorn country, actually slightly worse. (Tractor tire ribs will usually resist a thorn, but the "inbetween" part will not.)
