Marvin: My dad bought a new W4 in 1942 with both steel and rims for rubber. I say that as he was not able to buy tires until after the war. For two winters after that he installed the steel for extracting wood from bush on frozen ground. By 1948 he bought a set of chains for winter use and the steel was never installed again. Some of the first tractor tires were not great on traction, thus steel was an item. I doubt if there is a situation today where those steel wheels could match modern day tractor tires on any particular tractor. Even on frozen ground and ice, modern day ice chains or Canadian ring chains on rubber tires will make that steel look damn poor. Plain and simple in 2006, all those steel wheels will do is give you a rough ride.
