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?
