My bad, I kind of separate Construction Tread and Turf Tread. I used the term Ag tread thinking Turf.

It helps if you know what tire you have.


AG TIRE:

Not to be confused with a pulling tire:

This style is a "construction" or "industrial" tread.

Turf style tread:

And these are a category their own. I consider them an aggressive turf, or "all terrain". They do not fit any other category.

I think you will find chains on a steer tire to be a waste, but go ahead and get them and try them out.
Figure out a different direction to plow that gets the job done. My suggestion: Push snow uphill at the curve, or use a snowblower. It's OK to get off the tractor and use a shovel to get you started if you have trouble getting going the direction you need to go.
