[AT] Tire slipping on rim

[Carl Gogol]

Cecil -  I don't know a lot about tires, but the standard around here 
(central New York) seems to be tubeless, even for "loaded" tires.  That 
seems contrary to my inner senses, but that is the dealer's first 
recommendation.  They just don't like to deal with tubes and seem to imply 
they are more trouble than they are worth.

I don't know if that cures your issue or if you could get these tires to 
seal to the rims.  Just a thought.

I bought 2 ea 18.4 x 38 Speedway R1 rear tractor tires from Agri-Tech
imports about 2 years ago.  I mounted them in August 2014.  They were
used on my  White 2-105 tractor pulling a John Deere 16-8 grain drill.
This load does not require very much traction force.  I have replaced 3
tubes in one tire and 2 on the other for a total of 5 tubes.  The
replacement was required due to the rim slipping in the tire.  I now
have another tire going flat and the tube valve appears to be pulled out
of the tube.

  At $100 per tube these tires are getting to be very expensive, as i
have now accrued a $600 tube expense. In addition to the 30 gallons of
Methanol at $3.25/gallon for antifreeze.

I know there is no way that I can get a replacement from the
manufacturer as they will find 25 ways to get out of replacing the
tires.    I have thought of using   rim screws to hold the tire in
place.  Has anyone used these in a tube type tire?
