I'm thinking that once theyre installed on the tractor and the wheel weights are on, the pressure will squish them down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are designed for ATV off-road travel and I suspect the rounded shape is deliberate. At a lower pressure, the tread will flex as the tire turns, yes, and that is likely planned as a way to eject dirt that might clog the tread. For a flat face on a non-radial tire, the internal, circumferential cords that make up the “carcass” would have been the same length across the tread face, but clearly they are a bit longer in the center.

Alrashid2 441 #53 Posted yesterday at 07:43 PM OK, maybe it's all good then! I will admit, I am looking at the photo I posted of the old tires (unmounted) next to my new tires (mounted on rim). The tread looks flat. BUT I just went back and found a photo of my tractor from the rear, old tires mounted, and the tread was much rounder, similar to my new tires on the rim. Thinking this is normal and should be good. So excited to try them out! It's Valentine's Day though so I'm spending time with my wife Projects will wait Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
