I run chains all winter long, so for plowing, I don't think the condition 
of 
the rear tires matters much.  In fact I keep the chains on a pair of 
wheels 
with old, hard, slippery tires, and save the wheels with the sticky new 
tires for summer.

Putting new tires on the front made a huge difference in steering though.  
In snow, the tractor used to sort of go in the general direction I turned 
the wheels, if I were thinking nice positive thoughts at that moment.  Now 
it actually goes where I point it most of the time.  Funny how that works. 
 
(Thanks for the good tires, Jim.)
