what a shame

[steven in Tn]

is there any possible way to fix a tire like this? im sure theres not but hate to see a tire with so much tread be threw away. this is on a 970 18.4x34 and cant find any good used ones and cant afford a new one.

I cut a straight slash in one of my Kubotas" rear tires (about 4" long) and a local tire store sent it to have a piece cut out and replaced and then re-vulcanized. It cost about $175 though.

replace it before you have to buy a tube also. Sometimes can buy duals with decent tires and use them. Sorry.

tires looked to be in good shape when bought tractor, used alittle and they start to fall apart. sat for several years. been looking for months, found 1 decent one, and 1 more that must have been on the road alot for 100, looking for a better one, not much luck.

on sidewall slashes i have sometimes broke them down and put a piece of heavy plastic or sheet metal inside the wall then bolt it in with caraige bolts from the inside. all you have into it is time and a few carraige bolts if it don't work. i never did one that close to the rim though.

It may just be the picture, but that rubber looks pretty rotten. I don't see that tire having much life left. When I bought my DC its tires looked similar. A few hours of real work & I was changing tires.

I have a matching pair of 18.4/ 34 firestone radials at around 70percent tread. I'm in middle tn. $600 gets them. They run $1000 each new. Call 6156337850 if interested. Names chris, thanks

Of the few things that I can do I am actually a trained tire vulcanizer.

The damage you have is too close to the bead to be repaired and the rubber shows a tremendous amount of rot.

It also looks like there is a bulge; it means the cord body is damaged.

Personally you need to let the air out of that tire before it blows (if you haven’t already)
