Probably didn't word it right... so far my Kubota dealer has been great, especially parts counter guys! I just don't believe they would do something about a very slow leaking tire but I could be wrong. Might throw it in the truck this week and stop by and see what they recommend. Maybe I can tease them with a rear tire fill job?

Sounds like you have good dealer. I didn't think my dealer would do anything either, but figured it was worth a shot, but this is a known problem so they did.

The little BX front tires have very little volume. The rental companies around here always poly filled the little fronts because they are a constant problem.
You pay by the pound for poly filling, because of the small volume it does not take alot of poly to fill them.

Excuse my ignorance... but what's 'poly'?

They call it foam filling or poly fill.
It is pumped in as a liquid they put a screw or bolt in the top of the tire so that the air will bleed out as the liquid is pumped in and rises.
It is pumped all the way full and set at the recomended pressure for the tire, it cures and becomes a solid with some give to it.
No more flats.
Call a tire shop that does forklift and industrial tires.

Okay problem solved... went to Les Schwab and they installed a tube. Total bill $29 for one. Let's see if the other side will ever need it. :confused3:

I had several tubes put in and they all failed due it was thought to be the wheel moving relative to the tire. Had the last failed tube removed going back to tubeless then slimed it myself. Still had the slow leak so I might have done it wrong or used the wrong kind of slime. I bought a new tire and wheel combination with exactly the same slow leak problem. I gave up and settled for 3 trouble free wheels.

Sorry about that, today is beautiful clear sky low humidity the mood lightens. You'll be fine. They tubed the new wheel/tire and it has held up since last fall. Just have not been in 4WD with a loaded bucket on pavement.
