    We have a JD 1445 with a agrimetal blower and 72 inch deck mower that can be switched at will. We have been blowing out both front tires for the past two years at least once a month. A local tire distributor said we should be running a 6 ply tire while no one offers anything better than a 4 ply. Anyone else having this problem?

    Ever thought of filling them with foam?

    We fill smaller tires and never have to touch them again. Never done a larger one like that because it would cost about $100/tire. But if you are having that much trouble, may be worth a look.

    Actually yes. It is $180 a tire but that is my next move if nothing else gives.

    John Deere recently contacted me informing me that there is a 6 ply tire now available.
