The big advantage to these tires are they are radials;
Once you use them, it is tough to try to get traction out of a bias tire.
I still use bias, but, mostly because I can not get radials in the right size.
I was running the 1000 with the blade, and radial ATV tires today.
The real test of a tire is traction in reverse.
The 1000 will back up a grade on sandy soil that you would expect only four wheel drive or chains could handle!!
I only run 4 psi tire pressure, the footprint of the tire is L O N G !!
I probably have 3-4 times as much tire touching the ground, compared to a bias tire,,,
Even the 2284 has VERY little contact area;
These tires are kinda like running "mini-tracks"
Just letting the air out of a bias ply tire is not the same thing, you actually loose traction with low air pressure in bias tires.
