I had my rear tires filled by the dealership when the tractor was delivered about 5 years ago, and never gave a thought as to how much they filled the tires. Today when I was filling the tractor with fuel I guess the outside temperature and moisture were just right, and I could see a line on the tires exactly where the RimGuard was installed. It is about an inch above the midpoint in the rim. When I asked about the quantity that they installed, I was told that it would be about 3/4 of the tire's diameter. What is the correct amount of fill that should be in the tires?

IF you turn the tire so the VALVE STEM is at the 12 o'clock position - that is were the fluid SHOULD be!

This is 73% Fill by the way
