Default Front tires for lawn mowing

Looking for opinions on the best front tire to use on my 2072 for mowing grass. I also use it 2-3 times a year to snow plow, and my driveway is on an incline. My lawn is on an incline as well.

I am considering Carlisle Turfs, Carlisle Straight Rib and Vredestein V61:

- The V61 tires definitely have the cool factor and are well made. I hear they do well in snow. I am concerned about them tearing up the grass on tight/fast turns.


- The Straight Rib tires have far less agressive thread and resemble the original tires on my 1450. But they have me concerned about steering and sliding while on a slope.



- The Turfs seem like they would do the least damage to the grass, but they lack the cool factor, are a pain to clean if you go through a little bit of mud and probably don't do quite as well in the snow.



What are your opinions on the best tire for the job?
