Then that is your evidence.
Trelleborg tyres very disappointed

Yea but surely the harder they are run, the less flex they have so an awful ride and the harder they are run the less actual rubber on the ground. So not only do you have a rough ride you also have less braking/traction.
One question, they come out an suggest x pressure , you then run them higher at y pressure? Why do you disagree ? You have ignored their advice so have zero come back. I’m not saying this to be annoying. Just that you have ignored their advice ( for the correct reasons in your view ) but …

Not only that but running them hard do you get even wear across the tyre width?

Talking to a John Deere dealer. He said the factory were sending tractors out on trellys as there was a shortage of preferred brand tyres. He was worried how thing would work out as they were getting lots of problems at low hours with no help from trelleborg.

If that were the case and trelly had a large stock I wonder how old some of the tyres fitted to new tractors are?

I won’t have them again. Had them fail similiar to the op.
I my case though no argument about pressure they told me I’d staked it with something.
Multiple tyre guys have looked at it and said it is a tyre failure plain and simple. Was very disappointed at the time. First one was replaced with Trelleborg. Next one was a Michelin. First Trelleborg showing signs of early failure already.
Will see how the Michelin fare

Because I thought that was a safer option as I had no faith in the product to start with it they would have been ok at there recommended pressure then they definitely should have been ok running them slightly higher it wouldn’t have made any difference if I’d run at there pressure regarding come back as they are still saying that in there opinion they have been run to soft

Maybe he has sh*t loads of them in stock to shift onto unsuspecting customers !!
Michelin’s have a long lead time so it’s unsurprising that Trellies are outselling them ??

I had a front failure torn by a flint at 2500hrs a major repair on a rear from another flint at 3000hr and when the other rear tore the sidewall beyond repair 200 hours later they were swapped out as they were 70% worn
Michelin’s on the other tractor went to 4500hrs and had more abuse as that one did contract ploughing

They are quite aware of this forum. I posted about my tyres when it happened a few years ago. Somehow the head of Trelleborg Australia got my number and rang the next day.
still told me they weren’t at fault mind

These were originally Pirelli TM before taken over, I had a set of them and run quite hard, but decided to lower pressure a little (18psi) for some ploughing, a week later a split showed up while grain carting. Rang dealer and told them the serial number and date, a new tyre was sent the next day and a few weeks later got a partial refund as the damaged tyre had 80% tread left on it.
I still have the tractor with them on and they are still ok... but kept at fairly hard pressures, and are lasting well considering.

@Richard Smyth . Did you get any joy/help as a result of his phone call? Or did he just have a hissy fit at you for publicly expressing your displeasure?

No assistance at all. Continually argued the tyre had been staked. The 8 other internal cracks were irrelevant. I lost all faith in Trelleborg tyres after that. Unfortunately I just bought a secondhand sprayer yesterday with Trelleborg on it. Shall see how they last.
still have no idea how he got my number
