Tires NEW 4110 TIRE TROUBLE

Devin94 · Apr 27, 2004

I KNOW THIS IS GONNA SOUND STUPID. MY NEW TRACTOR SITS UNLEVEL BY 1 INCH IN THE REAR. THE RIGHT REAR TIRE IS BIGGER THAN THE LEFT. YES, THEY ARE THE SAME SIZE, YES THE RIMS ARE THE SAME SIZE, YES THE PRESSURE IS THE SAME IN BOTH TIRES. I EVEN WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW GAUGE. THE RIGHT TIRE IS TALLER AND THINNER THAN THE LEFT. THEY ARE THE TITAN TIRES AND RIMS. THE TRACTOR IS NEW, I JUST GOT IT. I WAS GONNA CHECK EVERYTHING OUT. THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TIRE AND FENDER IS MORE ON THE LEFT THAN THE RIGHT. IT IS NUTS, I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. I CALLED THE DEALER, I KNOW HE THINKS I AM NUTS. ONE OF THE WHEELS LOOKS LIKE IT MAY HAVE BEEN PUT ON BACKWARDS AT SOME TIME. YOU CAN SEE A HUB MARK ON IT. OR MAYBE IT CAME OFF ANOTHER TRACTOR? I WILL SEE WHAT THEY SAY TOMORROW. HAS ANYBODY EVER HEARD OF THIS? THX, DINO

I DON;T THINK IT SOUNDS STUPID AT ALL: i don't know what the problem could be, but u sound like u checked everthing and u know what u are talking about. i wonder if one of the rims could be a diffent width? not sure if that is possible, not being a tire expert , but something appears to be different. hope one of the more learned members will pipe on on this matter.

Sorry for the cap lock, the dealer is gonna call me tomorrow. It is truly unbelievable. I wonder what they will do, probably put a new set on and scratch up my wheels. thx, D

I'm the guy with the 2210 that had un-even rear tires. One tire was an inch less in circumference which resulted in the tractor sitting lower by 1/2 inch or more on one side.

Deere swapped my tires for a set off of a demo 2210 - no questions asked! Make sure they get you a new tire or a set that are the same size!!!!

You will find a variation in sizes with tire mfg's and even between the same model and mfg. Its real common in the garden tractor size tires- I have them on my turfs..you would be surprised how off the tire sizes can be compared to the size stamped on the tire- before I replaced my garden tractor tires they were stamped 23 x 9.5 x12 but were actually 20.5 x 9 x12...thats a huge difference. The replacement tires were stamped the same but were 23.5 x9.9x12...go figure
Its less common the CUT and up sizes, but It does happen..
I wouldnt be surprised if that tire gets switched out for you, dont be bummed out about it I'm sure the dealer will fix it..

When I do a rolling measurment I get, 95" on the left tire, and 98" on the right tire! The factory spec is 92".The right tire is an inch taller! which makes a huge difference on the rolling measure. I talked to the titan rep today, I told him that both tires are wrong, neither one is close to the factory spec. He is going to send me one tire, yep, just one. I asked him what one should I replace?, he said just eyeball and go with the closest one. I reminded him that any tire not on a wheel, not filled with air is going to look smaller than even my smallest tire. I said, how do I know how big this new tire is gonna get when I air it up? I said, what if it is smaller and actually rolls out to a 92" then what? He said it should be close to one of my tires, Guess I will just have to mount and dismount till I get one close. Of course my new wheels will be all scracthed up by the time this is over. He told me Titan was way behind on tires and I was lucky to get just one tire. Unbeilvable!

This is a new tractor right? If so, why are u having to deal with the tire people and do the swapping out? i would demand the dealer get it straightend out and very quick!

Well, that is another story, he was suppose to call me today, no call. They said that they would try to locate some wheels and tires, but no luck. They said the tires are warrantied through the tire manufacturer, like a new car. I am going to send all the bills to the dealer.

UPDATE.....Well, the titan tire company sent me two tires instead of one. I think they must have thought about it for awhile. Anyway, I got them mounted up, now the tractor sits level and perfect. But the goodyear dealer scracthed up my wheels, just like I knew would happen. I complained, they said bring them in, they would get some paint and paint them for me. Can you imagine what that would look like? Do you think they would sand them? primer them? even wipe them off? I doubt it. I will touch them up myself. Unbeilievable!
