Does anyone run atv tires on there mower.?

My lawn is quite rough so when my mower starts hopping and i try to turn i loose traction until the mower settles down and then the tires suddenly grad and jerks the mower, i putsome go kart knobby tires on (same size) and it didnt seem to help that much, mainly cause there really worn out. I was looking at some Dunlop Quadmax and was just wondering if maybe someone was running these tires or something similar.
Or maybe you can recommend some good tires, im looking to pay no more than 50-$60 a tire
Also iv got a couple hills in my yard as well as my dads yard which is nothing but a hill, also i mow an old couples yard and they live in a swampy area so some spots in there yard are a bit mushy andmy current tires are tearing up the yard..

But what do you guus think of some atv tires

So the Dunlop Quadmax did the trick for you. How was the ride comfort did it feel any better..

I was also looking at thes STI Tech 4 MX

STI Tech 4 MX ATV Tire | Tires and Wheels | Rocky Mountain ATV/MC

Select size 18/10/8 for actual tire

the ride was much better but it would do wheelies lol

You should get a lot better traction, ATV tires run very low air pressure only 3 to 4 PSI and made for traction and mud. I run two ATVs and find they can rip up the sod real good. I think if you run ATV tires you will have to be careful on the sharp turns or you will rip up the lawn.

Not really worried about my lawn so much as i an with my dads and the old couples lawn.. my dads lan lord is pretty strict about the lawn looking good and like i said its nothing but a hill and i do seem to spin out alot when making little turns.. also the old couple they live in a swampy area and on the smallest hill i spin out...

I found these kenda pathfinder which i like, im a big fan of the v tread pattern..

And like i said my lawn im not to worried about , this ppic is the side out front is where its REALLY rough

The ATV tires sure look like they will work for you. I am only running 3 PSI in my ATV's tires. Its the low pressure that gives them all the traction.

I think im going to go go with the Kenda Pathfinders i found the for $50 a piece..
Also would say like snoeblower tires on the front of my mower help my traction when turning cause my mower has such A sharp turning radius.. i can turn lrn left and Go in a circle and the left rear tire will be almost stopped.. but what im getting at is when im mowing and i turn the front just slides about a 6" to a foot before it hooks or until i slow down a bit
