The calls are coming in as farmers take their planting equipment out of the shed and realize they need new tires. Luckily, Todd Cavil at Pomp's Tire Service says availability is better than last year and the price hikes have stalled. During the busy season, there's also incentives from manufacturers, such as rebates, for growers to take advantage of. To keep those tires working like new -- keep that valve stem clean; frequently check the treads and sidewalls; and use an inflation calculator to make sure your tires can do the job you need them for.
