What's yours?

I worked for an industrial/commercial/agricultural tire dealer when I was in high school, and I can assure you that the vast majority of our tractor tire work were rear tires. And they always went flat in the middle of the field where he was spreading manure! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

We figure out about 85% of all flats are front tires. That is one reason that we poly fill most of the front tires on our rental tractors.

I had multiple front flats before getting the solid filled fronts.. on the rear.. one broken valve stem.. one large hole from a stick.

Had my first flat in the front. Slimed them both.

Gravely flats are always in the front AND the rear, usually on the 2 ply tires. Of course, it's a walk-behind. Got 4 tires on it though. It's usually the inside one that goes flat.

I have a 1966 Bolens I got new.
It still has the original rear tires and in 39 years they have never gone flat.It has always been a front tire.
Same thing with my PowerKRAFT. Can't leep air in the fronts.
I'm begining to suspect that the front tires are thinner than the rear ones.

<font color="red"> *** </font> Funny you should say this.

Just got off the phone with my brother.
He said maybe the front tires reach the piercing objects before the back ones do might be why I have front flats.
I told him I was going to start driving backwards all the time and see if I then started having rear flats instead./forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
