For what it's worth, which is NOT much, I have a Troy-Bilt 24" two-stage snowblower that's has one of its large black rubber tires mounted backwards on the rim with an inner tube inside it. It is very directional tread and has been backwards like this for three winters now, and it does not seem to make too much difference for moving it uphill while throwing the snow.

So, imagine a John Deere or a Kubota tractor with directional big-grip tires, one tire mounted backwards, and is similar for my 24' snowblower, but it don't somehow make any difference? ......

This tire would not hold air and would always be going flat. so I got an inner tube at Lowe's and took just the wheel to a bicycle repair business. It still works, holds the air, and is backwards but it seems to work just fine.
