Follow up on the Michelin tire problem.
Ended up swapping the tires and wheels from the 5000 onto the 6610 and installed the Michelins on the 5000. No more flats on the 6610 but not much tread ether.
Later when we got the 500 in the shop to fix the power steering line we broke the left tire down to see why it had went flat again.
Found another crack in the side wall and a pinched tube, installed another boot and patched the tube again.
Couple of weeks ago the right tire went flat again, after some research I ordered two Firestone severe duty made in USA radial tubes and a couple boxes of 3x6 radial patches.
We pulled the tire off giving it a good look over, ended patching three more spots in the side wall, split the old tube and rapped it around to new one as a liner, put the tire and tubes back on and aired them up, next we pulled the left tire back off and did the same thing ending up adding nine more patches to the sides of that tire to go along with the five already there, rapped the old tube around the new one and put that tire and tube back on.
Haven't used the tractor yet but hopefully we won't have any flats for a while.
Next year we'll be looking for new tires to go on the 6610 again, I can assure you it won't be Michelins.
