All that I can really say is watch out for cracks in the side walls.You also need to make your own centers on the wheels so they fit your lugs.

1995 Pathfinder(178k)and still going with 31s.

I can tell you from living with them for many years and various utility tractors that they have no peer in mud but they do lack stability/traction on wet/slick hill sides and pavement too. (wet or dry)

also watch out for the front of the lugs seperateing from the carcass of the tire. this is a sign of too much speed with low-speed tires. tractor tires are usually rated for 24-30 mph. hi-crop sprayer tires are a bit better for speed rating, usually about 50 mph, but you don't get deep lugs with them. If your do want tractor tires go and spend the bit extra on a set of radial tires, as they give improved ride and traction over the standard bias-ply tires. hope this has been a help to you.
