What are the common problems with agricultural vehicle tires?

Agricultural vehicle tires bear significant pressure and wear during agricultural operations, and often encounter various problems. Below are some common problems with agricultural vehicle tires:

Severe wear and tear: Due to agricultural vehicles often driving on uneven surfaces, the tires are prone to wear and tear, resulting in severe wear and tear on the surface of the rubber layer, and even cracks. This can cause the tread to grind flat, affecting the service life and performance of the tire.

Side stripping: Agricultural vehicles often encounter foreign objects such as sharp stones and nails during driving, which can easily penetrate the tire sidewall and cause side stripping. Side stripping can cause the tire wall to rupture, causing air leakage, and in severe cases, may cause a tire blowout.

Tire Blowout: During agricultural operations, tires often experience heavy loads and pressure. In addition, prolonged driving can easily increase the pressure inside the tires, causing them to overheat and ultimately cause a tire blowout. At the same time, agricultural vehicle tires are prone to damage, especially when driving on sharp stones, which can easily cause tire explosions.

Air leakage: Agricultural vehicle tires are prone to air leakage, mainly due to mechanical damage to the tread, causing air leakage on the tire wall or aging or cracking of the tire nozzle. Air leakage can cause a decrease in tire pressure, affecting the driving stability and economy of the vehicle.

Uneven tread wear: Agricultural vehicle tires may experience uneven tread wear after prolonged use. This is mainly because agricultural vehicles often need to drive on many different terrains and roads during the driving process, and the degree of wear on different terrains and roads varies, resulting in uneven wear of the tire tread and tread.

Tire aging: Agricultural vehicle tires inevitably experience aging issues during long-term use. Tire aging is mainly caused by prolonged exposure of rubber to sunlight, oxidation, ultraviolet radiation, high temperature, and other factors, resulting in tire rubber material aging, cracking, and hardening.

Tire failure: After a period of use, agricultural vehicle tires may experience failure, mainly manifested as tire burst, loud noise, damaged suspension parts, and vehicle body shaking. Tire failure can seriously affect the driving safety and stability of agricultural vehicles.

Insufficient tire pressure: Insufficient tire pressure on agricultural vehicle tires can lead to uneven tire load, severe tire tread wear, and increased friction between the tires and the ground, affecting the driving performance and economy of the vehicle.

Overinflation: Overinflation of agricultural vehicle tires can lead to a decrease in the tread contact area and a decrease in the contact surface between the tires and the ground, resulting in a decrease in the grip performance of the tires and affecting the driving safety and handling performance of the vehicle.

Insufficient rest period: In agricultural operations, the lack of rest period for agricultural vehicle tires can lead to issues such as tire overheating, accelerated tread aging, and insufficient tire pressure, thereby affecting the lifespan and performance of tires.
