I have a 5030 with R4's on it. When it was around 0 degrees out several weeks ago and I had a bunch of weight on the loader, the passenger front tire came unseated from the rim (the tire didn't pop OFF the rim, it stayed inside the rim edges, but unseated itself on both sides). I have since discovered that I must have had the tire pressure too low - it had dropped to about 15psi on the other side (I suppose because of the weather).
Just the other day, though, it happened again (at 30 degrees this time). Same tire, but it was at 35psi and there wasn't even a load on the front. While the terrain was quite bumpy, I wasn't going much more than 3mph when it happened.
Should I go to a tire shop and have THEM re-seat the tire, ensuring that some sort of soapy mixture is used to re-seat it or should I just re-do it? I can't find any damage to the tire or the rim.
It was a pain to get re-seated last time (had to bring the tire to room temperature to get it to even reach the rim around all sides - the tire just seemed too small when it was cold to even have a chance of seating when cold, but warming it up solved that problem). Am I doing something wrong? AFAIK, the Titan tire and rim is factory.
