I have one front tire that keeps going flat when doing "rough" work. I can run around for weeks on normal surfaces, FEL work, etc. and have no problem. But when I get into bouncy, rough, spin-tire type situations, it seems to lose air. I usually notice it when the rim is turning and the tire isn't (bad sign).
The first time it happened, I took the wheel to the dealer because I couldn't get the bead set. They said I had bent the rim so they straightened it ($50). Since then I have punctured it twice and plugged it myself. Last time I put in some aerosol sealant in frustration... no change. I've had no problems with the other side. I check pressures every time I use the tractor and it doesn't change until I abuse it.
Any downside to putting in a tube, or do I get tougher tires?
