Flat Free Tires

[bones66]

I read on another thread about flat free tires and it reminded me a problem? I have with mine. It's not a big problem however it sure annoys me. Running on a smooth surface at a pretty good clip it appears they (flat free tires) are out of round. Maybe from setting in one position over the winter months this is just a guess. Don't know that it causes a problem but it sure is bouncy running from one lawn to another.:thumbdown:Anyone else notice this or have a solution to it. I plan to raise the front off the ground this winter. May not help but it's a thought.

They're the one's that come one the 326 as standard equipment? I haven't looked for a name brand on the tire inself.........but that's an idea. I doubt they will do anything now as this was the third winter I have them.

Tires, especially flat free tires should last much longer than 3 years. The old nylon belt tires used to thump until they warmed up, but that should not be the case with flat free tires. It couldn't hurt to mention it to your dealer (if you purchased it new) -- they may have a solution ?

Do you happen to know the size ?

Good Luck ! :thumbsup:

Those tires are
Semi-Pneumatic Flat-Free 15 x 12.0 - 6

15 x 12.0 - 6

If I read that right - it is 15" tall 12" wide on a 6" wheel -- is that the rear tire ? I was under the impression (probably wrong) that he was talking about front tires ?

 

[KJINTF]

That was the front tire the rear tire is a Pro Turf 26 x 12.0 - 12 and fully Pneumatic

So the front tire on that machine is 12" wide ?
Rear is 26x12-12
Front is 15x12-6

That machine is a 1,750 lb beast - A wonderful machine
I guess I made a mistake copying the data the correct size is attached
6" width and 12" width front and rear

 

[BKBrown]

That makes more sense - I found it hard to understand a 12" wide caster wheel on the front.
15x6-6

Do yours get flat spots or out of round ? That seems to be what bones66 was talking about.
