Turf or Lug Tires

Help,
Just as I was finishing mowing a couple of days ago, one of my fairly worn (20% or less tread) rear tires on my Massey Ferguson 135 diesel developed a rather severe split, enough that the tube stuck out of it and the tire went flat. My question is if I should get a new set of turf tires, look for a well used tire that sort of matches the other side, or a new set of real rear tractor tires. The tractor is used 99% of the time with a 6' finish mower to mow our 5+ acre yard which is mostly flat; just a few small hills in the front part of the yard. The tires that are presently on it are loaded but I've pretty much made up my mind that I really don't need the extra weight. Maybe two times a year I use a 6' scraper blade to level out the low spots in our 100 yard gravel driveway. Our ground is mostly heavy clay and I have noticed that when it's sort of wet that what I have on it now does leave some tracks in the grass. I guess I'm wondering is if I do go to turf tires to save the yard is if on the few times I have the back blade on it will I have enough traction to do any good? I've got Grandpa's 1949 Farmall H (born the same year as me) with new tires on it in case wifey gets stuck in the driveway. Thanks in advance for your help.
