Default Vintage Oliver Terra tire help needed

We are restoring a El Torro Oliver like the one in the attached photos and need a set of the original tread front tires. The correct front tires are Goodyear 48 X 25.00 – 20 tire size. Our tractor has a set of new tires on the front, but they are not the correct pattern. We would like to find a set of vintage tires with the correct treat pattern like the ones on the tractors in the pictures. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad

That's quite the monster! Looks about like the ones I always see on the front of converted fertilizer trucks.

You are correct. That size is used on several floater trucks, but Goodyear stopped making that tread pattern. We are trying to find some good used or NOS tires with the vintage pattern for our restoration.
Thanks,
