Tires 8.3 x 16

keo216 · Feb 12, 2018

I have a Kubota B7100 HST 4x4 that has 8.3 x 16 lug tires on the rear. They came on the tractor when I bought it 9 years ago. It was made in 1996 but I found out last summer that the front tires were original and no one in Colorado would fix them as they are too old. I'm fearing the rear might be the same.
The problem is the tire is leaking 'beat juice' fluid around the bead and it's loosing pressure slowly. Afraid I might have to buy a new one. I'm in Pueblo Colorado and haven't checked local prices. I was wondering if anyone has bought anything similar on line or from an outside source. I found one for $169 called 'Traction Master'. Never heard of the tire. Anyone else had any experience with them?
I just mow with it and not much of that.
Appreciate any help.

How about putting good quality tubes in what you have??

Have you tried Miller Tire??

Tubes go a long way, but getting someone to install them is the problem, if you can't do it yourself. Most reputable tire places have a "lifespan" problem with tires over 6 years old, 10 at the most. Won't touch them.... but with a tractor, they aren't high speed so it shouldn't matter.
Good luck finding someone to install them.
