The benefit of HDAP's over lugs is that whatever flavor of HDAP style tire you choose provides the same traction in both directions. Lugs provide better traction in one direction than the other. Lug tires will not destroy a yard unless it is soggy, I use my 425 and loader on the yard pretty often with 8 suitcase weights, 4 wheel weights and loaded tires. If ANY tire spins it will tear up turn whether it be turf, lug, or hdap's.
