Default Stock tire or upgrade

I have a 2000 Sportsman 500 that I use on my farm for work. I don't really have time to just ride for fun anymore as with my father passing away just about a year ago it's left me with a lot to do plus my daytime job. So my Sportsman is my workhorse basically and I couldn't ask for a better one. I currently have the stock Goodyear Tracker P's on it and the front tires and done. There really isn't much tread left and not enough for good traction. So I was thinking of either replacing them with stock or maybe to upgrade. I use my sportsman for plowing snow in the winter, moving gravel and spreading it with the blade, pulling a trailer with with tools, hay, feed what have you, using a land leveler drag, moving downed trees, pulling a rough cut mower just about anything you can think of work wise that it's able to do and that quite a lot. But I really do need to do somethign with the front tires at least but if I'd be better to upgade all of them I'm not opposed to that either. I just wanted some others opinion on what I might want to do. Thanks in advance.

Any of the aftermarket tires will be less expensive, and offer much better traction than the stockers in most/all cases. Look at ITP tire, Maxxis tires, and Kenda tires. They "Should" all be cheaper than the factory replacement, and will defiantely be a good "upgrade".
