Replaced my 202s rear tires with new 14.9x24 R1s ($993.57 mounted...made in China...lettering on 1 side is all funny symbols). Tires [i:7d7cf9920a]were[/i:7d7cf9920a] a couple 16.9 R4s that were dried out bad but 1 went flat and wrecked the sidewall open and the bead had already had enough with constant tube issue before. Now I have flat issues again.
That new left side went maybe 1 hour into operation the day before yesterday (no punctures to be seen on tire)...best can be attributed was to additional hidden burrs on the shoulder (proper term?) behind the bead. Pulled tire, patched tube, used 4 sanding discs to clean up the wheel for good.
Got called outside because "My tractor was hissing." Right side had just begun deflating while my repaired (see above) left that had just been fixed and awaiting remounting...had ALSO went flat (AGAIN!). Best guess on the left is that 1 of the 3 patches cut loose. NOW my right side just went (about 30min before this post)...from out of nowhere with the tractor sitting with left side on blocks.
I have to ask: DO THEY MAKE FLAPS FOR MY WHEELS? If not its either buy new tubes...cut up the existing ones and MAKE flaps....OR bite the bullet and spend $1200 to have them foamed and NEVER have a flat again....or until those cheap tires (what I could afford) prematurely fall apart. HELP PLEASE.
