It doesn't happen right away but after awhile it starts to wobble and lose a front tire, one or the other...very dangerous! It seems to have the usual play throughout the front. They are brand new "China-made" tires. I don't know what to tell him? Thought I'd ask the experts! Thank you in advance for your replies. [Reply]   [No Email]

The wobble is probably due to a loose/worn tie rod ends, along with alignment problems. The wobble can get rather severe at speeds around 8 -10 mph. [Reply]  [No Email]

It was only a couple of weeks old, when the hired man came pulling into the driveway. I was standing there when the sidewall blew out. He didn't hit anything - was only going 5 mph, etc... A flap about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide just blew out the side... Those tires were just crummy junk even though they looked pretty good... Sounds like you might have some similar weird, cheap junk for tires... Howard [Reply]  [No Email]

I think you mean he has a re-painted tractor. [Reply]  [No Email]

You've got some seriously junk tires there in my opinion. [Reply]  [No Email]
