How do I keep my tractor tires from dry rotting?

Taking the time after every use to check each tire’s pressure and top them off to the manufacturer recommended levels is an important practice for keeping healthy tires.
Does slime work on tractor tires?
When the free tires came off the rim, one tire had the green slime in it and the inside of the rim was a mess and starting to corrode. Bottom line, if you have a flat, get it fix or at least put in a tube. Don’t use the green slime stuff.
Does Tire Shine prevent dry rot?
A quick coating, reapplied every 4-8 weeks, is a quick blast of tire UV protection. The water-based tire protectant douses the sidewalls in moisture, protecting them against dry rot and giving the rubber a rich, waxy gleam.
How long does it take for tires to dry rot?
In arid climates, tire dry rot can set in after as little as five years, while more humid environments aren’t as conducive to the splintering and cracking tire dry rot causes.

Will fix a flat seal a rim leak?
Re: Using Fix-A-Flat to seal rim leak? Fix-A-Flat may work for a nail hole in the tread area but I doubt it will help at all for a bead/ rim leak. Spinning wheel slings the stuff to the inside of the tread area AWAY from the bead/ rim where the leak is.
How much does it cost to reseal a tire?
On average, tire puncture repair will cost you between $10 and $20. The repair will involve getting the tire patched. Some tire dealers will repair a punctured tire for free if you purchased your tire from them. It is really a nice service to have at your disposal, and it makes you want to do business with them again.
Can a rim leak be fixed?
