What are peoples thoughts on getting these ATV tires to hold air? I have a mix of quads and some have no issues, a few, multiple tires go flat. I think its a bead issue as these are not punctured so what are people doing to seal these up? I've tried Fix-a-flat which is pretty shady (and did not work), anyone using that bead goop or anything else? I can pump them up, run them for the day, flat the next day or so. So it "seems" like they are popped on the bead as I have others that wound not inflate until the bead sealed. I was debating on checking the max beading pressure and trying to approach that and see if they seal better but that doesn't seem like a fun option. Plus, I'm talking about maybe 12 different tires on 5 different machines.

Any ideas/thoughts are appreciated.

Have you taken the tires off to make sure there's nothing between the bead and the tire itself?

 

Nothing in between the tires that I see or feel, some came new and mounted but go flat, a few I've flipped around due to previous owners, things like that. I'm like 50/50 on tires that hold air and it is annoying to say the least.

 

Check the beads with a washing up liquid/water mix, if it foams up the bead is leaking, you can either pop it off the rim and clean both surfaces, or try bead sealant, or simply fit a tube, for a certain fix. However punctured tubes often deflate instantly, so things like thorn punctures are more troublesome with a tubed tyre.

 

Looks like I have a long day of tire stupidity ahead of me...

Thanks guys.
