    Will higher pressure keep my tires on?

    Thank you all for your input. The tire was remounted and appears to be "just fine". It had a tube, which was used again. The last time this happened (about 14 months ago) there was no tube and the tire just rolled off the rim while making a tight turn. I wrecked the bead on the tire. It...

    Will higher pressure keep my tires on?

    My B3030 manual says the front tires should be 24psi. The tires say max pressure if 45psi. I have kind of rough terrain, steep, mostly covered with grass but a few places with small gullies. For the second time in about 15 months, the front tire has rolled off the rim. It was doing fine at the...

    Tires and Rims, WTF???

    Hi guys: Thought I should let you know that the NAPA dealer in Lihue was able to get me a couple of BF Goodrich 7-12's. They are tubeless but I had him put in tubes so I can see about putting water into them. One of the tires had to come from San Diego. I've had both tires now for just over...

    Tires and Rims, WTF???

    Thanks! Its a deal just for the wheels. I don't think I can use turf tires on my terrain.

    Tires and Rims, WTF???

    Thank you. I'm going to go with the NAPA option. FWIW: the Kubota dealer "says" he can get 7-12's from Kubota, but at a significantly higher price. One last question. Is there a good web link that will help me figure out what the right questions to ask are?

    Tires and Rims, WTF???

    My apologies for the rant. Let me ask a really stupid question, is there any reason to believe that the Goodyear 7-12 NAPA says they can get is any different in dimensions than the Bridgestone 180/85D12 currently mounted? In other words, when is a 7-12 not a 7-12? FWIW, the NAPA store here...

    Tires and Rims, WTF???

    OTOH, perhaps they made the tires so reliable that they so rarely need replacement? OTOOH,why would Kubota choose such a non-standard tire? OTOOOH, why can't this industry get its act together? Oh, I know, they want to screw the consumer. No wonder I see Republican Politics everywhere. <sigh>...

    Tires and Rims, WTF???

    Interesting. Kubota sells tractors for which there are no tires. Maybe I should look for more.

    Tires and Rims, WTF???

    Thanks. Tire sizes have always been a mystery to me. I found this link to be quite helpful. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=46 I appreciate your information since it confirms what I thought was going on. But that just confuses me more since Kubota only specifies...

    Tires and Rims, WTF???

    Here's a photo. Thanks for your help. I'm nearly convinced that the Goodyear 7-12 that the NAPA dealer can supply is the same tire as the Bridgestone 180/85D12. It is tubeless though. FWIW: the Kubota part number is 6C072-50040. If I google that, I get a 7-12 tire. I do not have water in...

    Tires and Rims, WTF???

    Can someone point me to something that will explain all the numbers on my B3030 Front Tires? I wrecked a Bridgestone 180/85R12 tire. Everywhere I've gone tells me, either there is no such thing or that it isn't being made any longer. So the RIM has a sticker on it that includes the above...

    Cross reference for Tires & Rims?

    Where, oh where, does one find the 180/85 D12 tire? I've been "everywhere", including the local Kubota dealer, and no one has it. Is there an alternate choice? The NAPA dealer tells me a 7-12 Goodyear DuroTorque will work. Will it?

    Tipping over sideways?

    How much of a side hill can my B3030 travel over without tipping over sideways. I can backup nearly everywhere and that works really well, but there are some places where I'm maneuvering between trees and it gets pretty hairy. If I were to get an inclinometer how may degrees is too many. I...
