Cracking Tires

A short answer to this is actually no, there is nothing you can do to prevent the cracking and the best thing to do is to replace the tires when they no longer hold air. Since rubber is a organic material and the normal life of the tire is only expected life for a tractor tire is around ten years.

Most tractor tires do last a really long time. On my old Kubota the tires were 30 years old when I replaced them in 2007 as they had severe cracking on all four tires and one actually had a blow out, out of the sidewall.

My personal biggest beef is the tubeless tractor tire. The tires on my 3 year old 2305 all have a habit of losing air and I am going to have the fronts tubed so that it stops losing air.
