bigger tires will give you less pounds per square inch on tire tread. I think you want more in this department. Like having a ladys spike high heel jabbed into your foot. If possible I would turn the blade around and push with the tractor in reverse. Skids runners may be what you need also. But if your whole area to plow is paved then a cutting edge in direct contact with the pavement really does a nice job. If you have frozen ground then a rock sticking up a inch or so frozen solid in the ground will bend or break something or send you flying , off the tractor maybee, when a cutting edge grabs the sticking up object. With the blade turned around you dont pull snow up to your rear wheels where it gets in your way. Also when you stop and raise the blade to go forefard you will then be turning your wheels in the right direction for good traction and the weight of the blade will also help with traction. So you wont get stuck as often. Maybee you know all this but some newbee may benefit. Also I have wheel weights on my 8 n and they really help. I have a 7 ft blade and wish it were wider with a sliding offset feature.
