Hi Calvin.

I agree with your idea of using tire tread somehow. Thought the same as you, maybe over the road tire tread isnt tall enough.. Will see how this trex material holds up and report back.

I am only doing this as a temporary thing to use the tractor at home on concrete until I get it to my cabin with 100% gravel around. 

I will be gentle on the turns while I have them on to hopefully prolong the life of them until so.
