I put a new set of Titan R1's on the front of my 2210 and had no issues at all with them..
I have a 4320 JD that I bought new in 06. The first year the front tires, R-1 Titan's developed age checks. I went back to the Dealer and talked to the guy who sold me the Tractor. He also is a good friend of mine. His comment, put a tube in them. There was quite a few people in the building, it was an open house. I should have been more aggressive the next time. Long story short he is no longer there, and I have the same tires, now with 3/8 crackes in the sidewalls. I am putting on new Carlsile's tomorrow. After I had ordered these I was told that Titan and Carlisle have merged. Oh great!! Does anyone know of this? I went to the dealer the other day and talked to another guy who remembered the day I was first there and complained about the tires. It appears that the dealer has had numerous complaints about the Titan tire. These are the tires that come on all JD's, at least in Vermont. He told me that they just replaced all four on a tractor just last week. It took them (dealer) 5 months to finally get them from Titan. The tractor is new, only eleven months old. Do the math, trying for five months, Titan tires cracked in the first six months. According to my dealer, Titan denies they have a problem, but they replaced all four on a eleven month old tractor. Take Toyota, they recalled a lot of vehicles because of the potential of floor mats making the accelerator stick. Safety issue, well Titan, what is this? The main question here is, has anyone had similar issues with Titan tires? I don't know what type of tires on other tractor brands. Thanks to all who read this and respond.
