Everyone's experience with rear tires/holes in the tube

Rkh · Dec 25, 2020

Mf65 gas tractor with 28" rear tires & went to put more air in & heard water bubbling. I assume there's a hole in the innertube. As of one day later, its holding air. Whats everyone's experience with holes in the innertube of a rear tires-will it hold, does it eventually leak out the seams,etc?

If your tires are loaded (have fluid in them) you should have your valve stems at the top when you air them up or you will hear bubbling sounds.

think of it this way take a straw and blow air in a glass of water

Bubbles are OK. what you dont want the see(or hear) is 'water' spewing out,or air continuing after the air hose is removed.However,there may be cavity air escapeing for a few seconds after.That's normal.

I did have valve on top-heard bubbling.

Is the tire over full with fluid?

normal if above the rim. the thing is to have the valve stem at the top when adding air.

As you use it and the tire flexes air will leak out the valve stem hole in the rim and you will need to air it up again. The oxygen that you add will keep the rust working and eventually the rim will be rusted through.
