plug it if you have a hole. if you dont see a hole check your beads and valve stems.

Whatever you do, don't use Fix-a-flat. It will eventually destroy your rims and be a big ole mess and pain in the **** to clean off the rim. I put Slime in my tires and it works great. Seals puntures up to 1/4". Put it in before you get a flat. Plus, it is biodegradeable and washes right off.

I'm not sure ,I have to pass over one barbed wire part of an old fence ,that's where everybody rides through
no barbs left on the wire, just wire .
Thanks guy's I did try the atv fix a flat with no luck, I drove around for two hours with the holes still leaking ,
I ended up using the real sticky rope plugs ,they worked like a charm ,Now I just have to get the fix a flat out .
I was kind of hesitant on using plugs because the quad was only 5 days old . Just like the saying goes they don't last forever.
