most ATV tires are designed to be tubeless, so i dont think a tube would do so well. if its just a small amount of actual tire penitration from the slashing, i would use some SLIME-tire sealent. works well for large/small repairable holes in tires. worth a shot

I've used tubes many times, mostly due to bead leaks. Never had a problem.

I know you can use tubes. I'm not really sure why that would be bad, though? Never used them.

I have been using tubes in my tires for 3 years but two tubes started leaking due to the rim cutting into the valve stem.

I,m not using tubes any longer since I found out that handy Can of "Fix a flat" or slime does not work with tubes and that stuff can save you a long walk home.
