Flat tire, now what?

[Soundguy]

I'll bet Sound Guy's 8n and 2N have weather checking you would not believe. my step-brother has had a 9N for 30 years that had checked tires when he got it, probably original, about 60 years. They are still running.

i have a 951 that the tires are literally disintegrating. I just don't run it in anything but pasture.. so a blowout is no issue.

yep. I don't know what I'd do if I had a tractor tire that was NOT checked..

I bought 4 new ones. I didn't want to get way back in the woods and have a flat or a blow out due to the cracked tires .I would be real pi$$ed at myself if I had a flat because I was too cheap to buy tires. I know I still can have a flat with new tires. But, I feel safer

Turf tires are great if you only run on hard surfaces or turf. If you are in dirt and mud go with ag or construction type tread you won't be sorry. I also have been hit with the imported tire thing from dealers, but have never seen a rubber tree in the U.S.A.

I don't think they use rubber trees for tires anymore

Just an update that I got the tube fixed, and had to take the wheel to a small independent shop to air it up. It does need to be replaced. There's a blowout the size of a silver dollar in the center of the tread, and the rubber is rotten. I am going to replace both rears fairly soon. I wouldn't mind starting with new tires.

The way some talk. They would run that tire with a boot in it. I sure wouldn't. I go places where, I don't want to be changing a flat tire if I can help it. The way my property is, I would be asking for trouble using that tire

my old tires were like that, after having the first flat I replaced it with a used but still was dry-rotted tire, this is when I realize how thin made the tires for our CUTS are, I suppose no heavier than our tractors are they didn't feel like the tires needed to be heavy duty, No comparison to the tires on Heavier Duty larger farm tractors,

Well, not good. I just blew, and I mean BLEW my left front tire! Man, this stinks. I did notice a "Made in China" logo on the side. This tire will have to be replaced as I doubt any tire place will deal with it. The rim is bent, too. I happened to run over a stick which punctured it. Are there any stronger tires?
