Default spare 20" wheels and tractor tires hmmmmm

i have a set of 03 ram 20's sitting around and was thinking maybe putting tractor tires on them.....i dont want anything huge just thinking about something around a 9.5 20 they usually measure out to about 38"....and since i fixe my melted ball joint issue i no longer snapp axels like toothpicks. and figure these should get a little better traction...

only thing is they can't handle high speeds, when we run the tractors for more than 10-15 minutes at 18-20mph in paved roads you can smell burning rubber, but at field speeds they last many years, and can handle tons of weight and abuse.

great! then you would have a set of tires good enough for 10 years , I used this tractor for 8 years with the same tires, and when I was moved to another place they still have lots of tread, just can't hold air anymore because of too many punctures with big holes, when this happens they work with tubes.
