    My new goodyear Rawhide III's

    Quick question. Has anyone had experience running 25x11.5x9 rawhide 3's?
    Last night I took my max iv up the road full throttle after it had sat in garage overnight on concrete. 3.5 pounds of air in tires. Acted like they had a flat spot in them. Is this normal? should I have to run more air? I already had to heat the tub to clear the sag on center tires. Love the tires but wow! kabump,..kabump..kabump!

    The 25x11.50x9 Rawhide III's are a bit taller than the 25x12x9 Rawhide III's........they're actually around the height of 26x12x12 Goodyear Super Terra Grips that come as an option on the Max IV. As far as the flat spot goes, that's odd and I really don't know what to tell you about that. After some of my machines with 22" Rawhide III's sit for a while (a couple months) without being used it feels like there's a flat spot on them, but they work back into shape rather quickly. I'm guessing they do the whole flat spot thing because of the very flexible sidewall.

    Hey Hogster,

    Even though I've only run less than a mile total on my 25x11.5s (on the Swamp Fox), I noticed a pretty big kabump-kabump at just about any speed. The rounded out after a little bit. The 25x12s on my eight wheeler do the same thing after sitting for a while, and it seems that poor thing sits idle for long periods. I don't think you need to run more air. 3.5 pounds should be more than enough.

    I think its normal for any low pressure tire that sits in one spot.(especially in the cold)
    If you run them for a bit and warm them up they should smooth out.
