05 banshee Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Do any of you use tire tubes on your quads? The reason that i am asking is that while trail riding, I have picked up a slit on the sidewall of one of my front tires. It leaks down from 4 psi in about an hour. It sucks, because it is still a pretty new tire. Not sure if it happens all the time, but if I had a tube it wouldn't leak from such minor damage. Also, can you patch the inside of a tire on the sidewall? Not sure if this is a safe practice or not, just curious if it has been done. Thanks Quote
Bansh-eman Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 i dont know of any tires that use tubes. they really arnt a good idea casue they pop very ez when you jump things... if your running stock tires im sure you can find someone that has one laying around they will sell you for cheap...

Washburn Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Or get beadlocks and Tire Balls (Wall Mart balls in my case) and never worry about getting a flat out in the midst of nowhere ever again Quote

I am kind of new to the quad hobby. Luckily the flat I got was a slow leak, so I didn't get stranded. I see you are from Pittsburgh, so am I. I just moved here from Michigan. Where do you go riding at? I picked up the flat in Finleyville riding with a few friends. Nice videos on your signature. Clutch is awsome! I saw them play spacegrass back a few years at a show in Toledo, Ohio. It was kick ass! Quote

375hp banshees Posted September 11, 2007 Report Posted September 11, 2007 dont use tubes... your tire will spin on the rim, cut off your valve stem ,you'll have a hole & no place to air it back up at! Quote
