Can I put tubes in my rear tires since they got slashed? I don't think it would matter.

When you say slashed, how big are we talking. I have tubes in all of my holeshot tires. But none of them are slashed

Oh not big slashes just dime sized holes. I just wanted to know if tubes would affect the handling and stuff of the quad. Thanks

You can put a tube in a tire with a cut up to a bout and inch. The only problem that you might want to do is to try and plug the hole with some plugs or ? to try and keep out small rocks from getting inside and putting a hole in the tube. Tube can be put in the front tires on any quad and you will not have a problem. On the rear is a different story. Most 4-stroks can run tubes in the rear and not bust the valve stem. Most 2-stroks have to much wheel spin and the tire will spin on the rim and bust the valve stem. Hopes that this answers your question.
