Tire Pressures

Long life and satisfactory performance of the tires depend on proper tire inflation. Under-inflation of tires leads to rapid wear. Over-inflated tires reduce traction and increase wheel slippage.

Since correct tire pressures depend not only on working conditions and load but also on tractor model, tire size and manufacturer, we recommend that you approach your John Deere dealer or tire company for advice. The tire pressures shown in the table should therefore be considered as a standard guide only. The tire pressures shown are for field operation. If you are operating 20% or more on roads, increase tire pressures according to the manufacturer's specifications.

NOTE: Refer to"Load Capacity of Tires" in Section 150 "Specifications"
