Well again this is my mule with the tires in my pictures.. atv tires.. as far as rated.. this summer after our Ixonia Days parade.. I was driving around making the rounds , taking friends and strangers for rides.. there is a small carnival and beer tent and festivitys that go on all weekend into the night...
at one end of the park there is a set up for tractor pulls.. the mini tractors.. well I had at one point a bunch of people on board and we went by the tractor pull area.. there was an unmaned digital scale there.. so for Shigrins I drove on and stopped.. 2475lbs was the weight..Gotta love them Wisconsin Women

forgot picture.. of the beast..

Square shouldered ones are the NDT's. Rounded ones are the NDCC which came later. The deuces also did this, NDT's were on the early trucks. Look at the pics of the trucks in the 50's.

actually the round mule tires are a special breed because of the very very low tread and rounded tire design, not at all similar to the ndcc rule in my eye , but the square are ndt for sure, and one sure could call the rounded ndtcc s but they are wayyyy noticeably different . and yes there is a reason, and it is the traction and wear and tear. This is more than opinion after having and driving both for awhile, i am not guessing, but hey its still opinion i guess until David Doyle or someone else that has that much clout ways in....
