tire keeps going flat

Yeah, something like that. More a bead roll over stress kinda thing. We see this on other equipment. Remember, just a working theory, but if it is happening on machines with no FEL, than .... aw, heck.

Yeah, we had problems like that on our Case.

I used my BX2200 for six years with a FEL and had no problems and the wheels on it are smaller than the BX2660 allowing much more sidewall flex.

Mine leaks down no matter what I have on or what I do. I haven't put my new one on yet; maybe it won't leak too.

Trying to wrap my head around this. Question.

In all or most of your cases, was FEL work involved? Anyone experiencing low air in front tires, but no FEL attached?

Just a working theory inside my own head right now.

Mine actually did involve alot of FEL work. Now that I have it off, I will monitor the pressures...

Add me to the list of leaking front tires on a 2660. Gonna slime them. Just crappy tires as far as I'm concerned. I have a 25 year old Cub with the original Goodyears on it that I only air up once a year.

Could be crappy rims. Maybe they have the crappy rims in a single stack and put only one on each BX.

I have a BX 25 with the smae problem. Right front, to be exact. I have tried slime but it just slows down the leaking process. I just pump it up everytime I go to use it. PITA.

As far as I am concerned the "OTR Traction Master" tires are junk.

Cheers,

hmm that is strange. I am having a problem wit my fronts too on the BX24. Thought I ruined it or have hole. right front as well. left side needs air every now and then just to maintain pressure. The rears never seems to need air, except when I had bad tire stems. I haven't replaced the stems on front yet and its on my to do list. they are turf tires as well.

Is this going flat situation specific to a tire type?

R1s going flat?
R3s going flat?
R4s going flat?

If it can narrowed down to tire, we might have a culprit, but if this condition is wide spread over all tire types, then don't we have rim issue? Still just pondering.

Mine are R4 Traction Masters and am on my third tire and wheel combo.
