Weather can have a significant impact on tractor tires, leading to issues like cracking and weather checking.
It is crucial to properly maintain tires to ensure safety and longevity. Improper storage, exposure to ozone, and sunlight can cause weather/ozone cracking, dry rot, and weather checking on tires.
Checking tires periodically for proper inflation, cleaning them before storage, and storing equipment indoors in a cool, dry place can help prevent these issues.
Additionally, it is recommended to avoid parking tires on rocks or asphalt for extended periods as these surfaces can damage tires if they lose air pressure.
Regular inspection of tire wear patterns and lug height is essential, with a recommendation to replace tires if the lugs are below 20-30% of their original height.
Lastly, maintaining correct tire pressure and avoiding exposure to petroleum-based fluids can help maximize tire life and prevent cracking.
