Subject: Goodyear tires bouncing


mid Illinois
Does anyone else have experience with their single rear tractor tires acting out of round, or causing the tractor to start bouncing up and down at road speeds? Mine are Goodyear dyna-torque radials (18.4x42) singles on my planter tractor. I bought these new about 5 years ago. Good thing I don't have to road this tractor very far, as 13 mph is as fast as you can go before the tractor starts to bounce up and down, and if you dont slow down, it keeps getting worse, and I am sure you would lose control of the tractor. And it is not really out of round. Even after planting all day long, and getting the flat spots from sitting, rounded out on the tire, it still acts this way. Different tire pressures does not help. Has anyone had problems with goodyears or other brands doing this. I know radials act different than bias plys, but this is ridiculous, and dangerous what these stupid tires act like.
