[AT] Tire slipping on rim

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?
