Industrial tires are probably 75-125 per tire in that size. They are less aggressive than an AG tire. ( think bobcat tire)
the Ag tire should not tear up your grass but they might make it rough from the ribs. The grass really should only get damaged or torn up when you spin the tires without moving forward on a tractor. Ztr is a different story but they are ok if you make three point turns.
You can also look at mud tires for golf carts or side by side 4 wheelers. I would avoid the ones for quads since they are designed for about 2-4 psi and are very soft
If you are getting stuck on a regular basis. It sounds like to have a drainage issue fixing that should fix the tire issue
If one is using springs, bungee cords or tensing devices, the chains are installed improperly and cause undue wear on the chains as well as the tires.
Take the time to install them tightly and properly, by shortening the side chains so they are tight without "band-aid" fixes.
