What a load of absolute tosh..... You get no more ticks from wearing plus two's, plus fours, deer hunter trousers or the likes of your pro hunter trousers.
The good thing about plus fours is that during crawling you have a good chance of keeping your knees dry as opposed to plus two''s riding up your legs and soaking you through. As for wearing any sort of trousers with gaiters over the top restricting movement, well no thanks it's not for me.
Try some, you definitely won't look back., and the tweed dries a lot quicker than the man made trousers.

Funny that. I can take you to the spot where I sat down in my plus fours to have a break and watch a ride for ten minutes. I can also take you to the doctor who prescribed antibiotics the next day.

Blimey! You did well to get a diagnosis and the GP to prescribe antibiotics within 24 hrs!!! Not humanly possible actually. Or were you just afraid you may have Lymes and the Doxycycline was a precaution??Funny that.

Tweed for the hill, no more likely to pick up ticks with tweeds than normal trousers but you do need gaiters because they will get through your socks if you don't, gaiters and normal boots are probably better than long legged boots because long legged boots still leave a gap that they can get access.
Plus fours rather than plus twos, after having been crawling and you stand up your knees will be dry as the wet bit will be hanging down over your gaiters, not so with plus two's.
Tweed is not cold in winter nor is it too hot in summer, nor is it particularly cold when wet unlike most man made fibres, tweed used to be heavy but these days there are lots of light weight tweeds on the market, some don't like the feel of wool next to their skin, but you can get lined breeks if that is the case, many manufacturers make them with a waterproof lining if think you need it.
Been wearing tweed for fifty years and have yet to find anything better for all occasions.
