There's lots of tractors that carry that much weight and have to pull to the limit of their ability at 4 mph to boot. I'm talking mounted moldboard plows that lift the front of 11000# tractors and manure spreaders that apply enough tounge weight to lift the front of the same tractors.... probably 15-20K # axle loads. This is on 18.4-30 and 18.4R34 tires. Titan's go boom. Firestones and Michelin's keep going. You've got a fair bit of weight on yours, but not this much weight... and certainly not the same requirement to pull.
Titan has quality issues and from my observation, for the most part... they have no intention of admitting they have a problem. Their president has been active at times on the AgTalk forum trying to quell the unrest and regain some customers... but his remark to me was theat "you don't think we'll make tires that will last forever" or something very close to that wording. The biggest admission they will make is that they have problems in 1-1.5% of their tires the same as everyone else does and the rest of the problems are due to manufacturers using the incorrect wheels for their tires. That may be true to some extent... but the manufacturers are not wearing the problem. Someone posted a picture on that forum some time back of a tire dealer somewhere in the midwest who had a row of GoodYear combine/floater tires stacked two high from the shop to the back of the lot, ALL warrantied... or at least all failed that fall. This was somewhere in the vicinity of 100 tires in one place, at one dealer in one town... If you haven't had a problem all I can say is you've been very lucky... as about 90% of the posts I read on that forum are of experiences like mine... or worse.
