Abstract
Rear tractor tire selection must be based on a number of considerations including:
-

Field service requirements.
-
2.
Tire dimensions.
-
3.
Load carrying capacity.
-
4.
Torque requirements.
-
5.
Use of proper rim.
An in depth study of these features is followed by a discussion of the requirements for proper care and servicing of rear tractor tires stressing the importance of:
-
1.
Maintenance of specified load/inflation relationship.
-
2.
Not overdeflecting tires.
-
3.
Not subjecting tire to excessive torque which may result in:
-
a.
Sidewall buckling.
-
b.
Rim slippage.
