This is to inform all my BX friends that I am leaving the one flat front tire group

Maybe I'm gonna jinx myself, but my 08' BX2660 has 600+ hrs on the clock with the original turf tires and I have no leaks.:thumbsup:

You had one of those slackard assembly workers the day your tires were installed that got two tires from the good stack instead of going around to the bad stack to get one tire. Guess you know that means someone is going to have two bad ones from the bad stack. Everyone with an 08 BX2660, who got the one with the two bad front turf tires?????

No, but we got two bad Industrial tires though not at the same time. Ours began leaking quite some time after we bought it and Davis Farm Supply replaced the tire and wheel with one off a tractor on the lot and it leaked then got us another one and it hasn't leaked in three years.

Tires are a funny thing...

I have an old 1 1/2 ton chassis/cab 31 Model A truck out back... it's been sitting there since 1995 and the tires are holding air just fine...

You would never think they would by looking at them... some are bald and others have deep cut and gouges and the they are hard like a board...

That's right, not at the same time.
I'm sticking to my theory that there are two stacks of tires on the BX assembly line. One stack of good tires and one stack of bad. Each tractor is supposed to receive one each tire from each stack thus having one good tire and one bad tire on each BX. This only applies to the front tires, the back tires are all good or have been for me.

Well, I appreciate this thread. Tried a BX2660 yesterday. Drove about 300 feet around the dealer's lot and loading area, when a repair guy came running out of the shop and waved me frantically to stop. Thought I was heading for a minefield, or something. I shut down, and he pointed at the LF tire, which went flat as I sat there.

I walked back to the office with the key, apologizing profusely. Assumed I'd run over a nail or something, though R4s shouldn't go flat that fast anyway. Dealer said it was OK and not my fault, but looked disgusted - at the idiot customer, I thought. Now I realize it was a bad rim seal, or whatever the problem is.

Thanks for the posts, and the relief!

Was wondering if they finally got rid of the bad tires stack. I think it could have been bad rims coming from one stack that was the problem.
When I had a leaking car tire issue last year the tire shop guy applied some rim sealer around the rim after grinding the rim edge down and the tire never went down again.
If the one leaking tire issue is still alive then maybe try the rim sealer to see if it gets fixed.
I also remember one member said his tire was spinning on the rim which would very likely cause the tire to leak air.

Here I am Sep 2015 and bought another BX and came back to the club. Had tube added to my BX25D-1 last week on right front tire sitting on seat.

Some things never change

I put a tube in my tire last winter. Drove over a couple pocket gopher mounds a few weeks ago and came out to find a flat the next day. I cracked the valve stem loose from the tube. Not expensive to fix, but a PITA....

Took my leaking right front BX2660 tire to Barlows wednesday and picked it up today. Thanks for a good dealer to serve and fix stuff under warranty. It now has a tube and should never require the portable air tank to resusitate it again. It better not or Gary's in trouble, he said he did it. I now have this big tube air stem sticking out of the rim but I believe it will now stay up. Good bye all of my fellow members of the One Flat Front Tire Group. I shant ever join your group again, well I better check my BX25 before I return all of the membership stuff. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.:laughing:

But if you only did one tire won't the other one when it goes flat put you in the group again???
