If you could shut your mouth long enough to actually read what I said you could save yourself a lot of time. The 90% figure related to AGTALK forum, not this thread... and the Titan threads are so frequent there that most have simply stoped responding anymore other than to recomend 'Firestone or Michelin'... a simple three word response. 90% with bad experiences with Titan/GoodYear tires is a good rough estimate of responses on THAT forum. On this forum you find more Titan customers who wrap themselves in the flag, buy the tires because they're US made and then proceed to put 50 hours use per year on them with the tractor stored in a garage the rest of the time. You obviously put more use per year on yours... but again... at what load factor?
Just in case you're wondering... I do have a fairly good grasp of the different equipment that's out there in use for roadside mowing and right of way mowing. That is what you state to be a significant part of your activity... so I'll say again... wether that's a rear mounted bush hog, a side/boom mounted rotary or a Meri-Crusher... the load factor you're talking about is different. You may indeed have a good bunch of weight in some of those machines but you're still only pulling the weight of the tractor/machine along... either on asphalt at some speed or on ditch banks at a snails pace. That's just not the same as dragging a plow at 5 mph at full torque and ballast.
AS far as inflation problems go on mine... they probably were underinflated to some degree. They can't be perfectly inflated in every situation... but one thing stands out. The FIRESTONE and MICHELIN tires I'm running now DO NOT suffer from the same problems and they have the same inflation issues.
I don't think there's anything wrong with you running Titans if they work good for you It may be that they just fit into your particular situation very well... but I tend to believe you more likely just have incredibly good luck...

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
