Would be my choice. Pneumatic will likely be better, but in a pinch, I'd go with Colsons.
Would you elaborate on the betterness of pneumatic? In 2012, I saw some teams really struggle with 8" pneumatic (esp with 4 wheel skid steer).

I am trying to campaign for traction wheels of some sort. Really like your colson suggestion. Even with the vex hub added they seem to be $14 cheaper per wheel than the AM 8". Plus they are a true 8" rather than 7.65".

If there are things that I am not taking into account I would be very glad to learn.
