Keep getting flat tires

[dnw64]

Eventually I tried foaming the front tires and I haven't dealt with a flat in about ten years now.

Probably the best option for the OP.

Foaming may have several bennies. No need to find new tires & rims - no longer worry about flats - the tire ratio will be close to the original turfs. And since we are talking of only foaming the front tires - the ride may not suffer so greatly.

Was there a reason you got turf tires to begin with? Will you want to switch back to turfs for certain tasks, like mowing a yard?

I'll call the dealer today to see but I'm sure it will be way more. 4 R4 no rims under $350. I'm guessing with wheels from dealer maybe 1200.

I have a riding mower so I wont e using this for mowing ever. bUt I will be driving across the lawn.....

From what I can tell, the BX1880 does not offer R4 tires as an option, I believe because R4s are not made in that smaller size.

Hmmm. The fronts say 4-ply, no data on the backs. They look more like bar tires but with just a different shaped "bar". I doubt they are as rugged as a true R4 tire.

Obviously I didn't think of it first, but agree that it's probably your best option.

I use TireSeal from Texas Refinery Corp. About $25/gallon (I use one gallon per rear wheel and about a 1/2 gallon per front wheel on my NX5010). It is water soluble. I have not had a flat since I started using it. I no longer worry about working around mesquite trees.

So, for now, I've decided to just be nicer to it and keep patching flats. I have the plug kit and compressor so each flat stops me for about 20 minutes....untill I get a real big one.....

I think I will end up getting 6ply turf tires as r4's are hard to find, as you guys mentioned. Also I have yet to get stuck with the turfs.
