Subject: RE: Are Michelin Tires Junk?


NE Iowa
In reply to running it off the bead: No, I'm not dumb enough to drive on a flat tire. I was in road gear going 20mph and by the time I felt the tractor leaning left and realized what was happening, I got pulled over to the edge of the road in maybe 200 feet. By then it was off the bead.

The tube was blown out right where a new sidewall split showed up. He also patched a third split while he was in there. Those splits did not happen in 200 ft.

What I'm saying is the sidewall failures are causing the flat tires, not from driving on them flat.

Interesting enough is so far it's just been the left tire. But the right one is showing some smaller cracks in same area. So definitely going to put couple new ones on.

Looking for opinions on what brands will hold up better than these did. Like I said light loads and lots of roading
