Tyres

[CelticKubota]

My Kubota was parked up for a year and the tyres were flat and ended up cracked. They now hold air for two weeks and then deflate. I have looked into new ones and they come to 120 Euro each - which is pricie and unfortunatley he wont be ordering some for 4 to 5 months (off season here).

What can I do - can they be repaired internally?
There 20.5 * 8-10's ...... can one buy a tube for these tyres?

Theirs reasonable ruber on these tyres and the tractor get on rough work. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

If they hold air for 2 weeks before going flat.. they might have a leaky tube or valve stem. No way to tell except to dismount them. If it is a pinched or leaky tube, patch it or replace, and make sure if there is a crack in the inside casing of the tire to put a piece of the old tube as a boot in there to protect the new tube.

You may be lucky and it just be a leaky valve. You might be able to get a new valve insert if it isn't coroded, or a valve stem extension that has its own valve...
