You'll get the best ride from a Michelin AgriBib which is an R1-W. Their downside is that they don't pull as well on hard surfaces. They flex too much... but if you're doing a lot of road work or a lot of wet field work that requires the R1-W deep tread, then you simply will not beat the Michelin. I've been switching everything to AgriBib's simply because they suit the type of work I do. There is NOTHING that will gain as much traction as that tire in poor footing.
My second choice is the Firestone Radial All Traction 23 degree. They are a very good pulling and wearing dryland tire. Their downside is that they have arather ignorant 'lope' about them on the road that is hard to correct by pressure without overinflating them to the point that they get rough.... but they do outpull the AgriBib's when both are new.
In a bias tire I've always found the Firestone Field & Road to be a reliable choice, and they wear quite well. Also had reliable service from GoodYear Dyna Torque II's although they don't wear very well.
Galaxy is a decent value tire but will eventually rot, but you can generally wear them out first.

Other than that I'e had several Armstrong/Titan tires and nearly every one has blown long before it was worn out. I wouldn't buy one. I'd go with a chinese tire first.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y ... [Read Article]
