Tractor Snow Tires Made Simple
When winter hits, the right tractor snow tires are essential for safe, efficient snow removal and plowing.
R1 Agricultural Tires have deep, aggressive lugs for superior traction in deep snow and soft ground—ideal for clearing driveways and fields. However, they can be rough on turf and less effective on ice without chains.
R4 Industrial Tires are designed for hard-packed snow and paved surfaces, R4s offer stability and wear resistance but less grip in deep snow.
Radial Tires are preferred for snow work, radials provide better traction, a smoother ride, and longer life than bias-ply tires. Their flexible construction delivers a larger footprint and more even weight distribution, improving grip and stability on slippery ground.
Look for tires with deep, self-cleaning tread patterns to maximize grip and prevent snow buildup. Some specialty winter tires, like the Nokian Hakkapeliitta TRI, are designed for both snow and road use, offering excellent grip even without chains.
For icy conditions or steep terrain, adding tire chains can dramatically boost traction—even the best snow tires can benefit from the extra bite.
Check tires for wear and maintain proper pressure—cold weather can cause pressure drops, impacting performance and safety.
Choose deep-lug R1 or radial tires for snowy fields, R4s for hard surfaces, and consider tire chains for ice.
The right snow tires keep your tractor stable, safe, and ready to tackle winter’s toughest jobs.
