What started out as just a simple tire plugging or patching problem has turned out to be a BIG problem. I developed a leak in left rear tire 26 x 12.00 Multi Trac G/S Titan tire. I had put Green Slime in tires last year to take care of small punctures from sticks and other things. Well this puncture was a to big to have plugged. When the tire was broken down and taken off rim, and was being ground so that a patch could be put on, the area around the puncture started deteoriating to a point that a patch would not even take hold.
As I inspected the tire on the inside it looked as if the entire polyester fabric on the inside of the tire was loose and coming off. This had nothing to do with the Green Slime, as this is a non-corrosive sealant. Well anyway, I took tire back to my dealer (110 hours on tires) and let him look at the time and he agreed. Since the tires are not warranteed by Kubota, he place called to Titan tires, but have not gotten a response at this time. So I decided to call a friend who has sells Titan tires, but not this size tire. He said that if this tire had already been tried to ground down to patch, then Titan would not make an adjustment.
I am not really very happy this time and do not want to purchase a new tire, even though I could get one for $55.00, I just to not feel that this tire should be my problem at this point in time.
Has anyone else had this type of problem with Titan tires?
Any help is appreciated.
