TION
Note: Overheating a foam filled aircraft tire will cause the foam to liquefy and leak from the tire. The liquid will
not turn back to foam when tire is cooled down and your tire will once again be prone to punctures.
Pneumatic Aircraft Tires and Pneumatic Implement Tires
are ideal for frequent long distance towing,
however they are not puncture proof and are not recommended for mowing brushy areas or other conditions
that could damage tires.
All tires will generate heat during transport, some more than others depending upon tire construction. The
amount of heat being generated by a tire depends on the speed of travel and the load on the tire. The amount
of heat build up in that tire is dependent upon the travel time. Caution must be taken to prevent any tire from
overheating. The tires should be checked periodically during transport. If the tires are beginning to overheat
they should be allowed to cool and the travel speed should be lowered.
Faster than recommended transport speeds during delivery of a machine to a customer or general transport
from job site to job site can cause serious tire damage and potential failure.
Please see chart below for tire speed ratings and recommended inflation pressures.
