Tire question

Just had a rear tire replaced for my Ford Jubilee and did not notice until after I put the wheel back on that the tire store installed it backwards! Since I use my tractor only for fun on regular paved back roads, will this backwards mounted tire wear more quickly in its current position? Thanks in advance for any replies. R Toole Orlando FL

Call the tire co. and tell them you want the tire remounted..... if you are going to do it, do it right..... .

Take it back and have them mount it right.To invert a wheel will make a bad situation worse as the geometry will be out.

i would think that the tires facing opposite directions would produce a horrible ride on pretty much any surface. take it back and have them remount it.

I think they should be both installed the same direction, and the shop should do it with out and problem. I run my tires backwards on my tractor I use for mowing because I need extra traction backing up banks, I dont do much road driving but when I do I dont notice any problem.

Driving on paved roads with the tires mounted backwards sharpens the lug. Now mounting them properly for pulling, gives near cut tire performance without getting DQ'd.

If the tire was on the rim when you took it in then I would make them reinstall it correctly. They got paid to do it right and will probably have no problem redoing it, hopefully anyways. Good luck

I think that tires on backward have a funny feel running them on pavement. The people I know that run combine tire on backwards are working in muddy conditions and it is so that they have a better chance of backing out of a muddy spot and not damaging the crop.

well actualy alot of guys say that when they run equipment on the road alot they will install the tires backwards, i have been told that is part of the reason that some custom operators put there combine tires on backwards, i personaly have no experience with running the tires backwards, i dont put enough road miles on my tractors to worry about it. i dont think it will do any harm to your tire, it wont perform very good in mud, but on pavement i dont think it makes a difference, but it does look awful silly, so if the tire shop doesnt want too much to remount it the right way i would go for it just so ya wont be ridiculed by your tractor buddies for years to come.

You'll still have one on backwards.

Wouldn't have to. If they're the type that dish out, one tire would be close on one side & farther out on the other side.
