windtrader I slimed my tire mainly for flat prevention. I also thought it would help with the tire loosing pressure but it has not. I run about 4 lb of pressure and just have gotten into the habbit of putting air in when we head out for a ride.

ATV tires need to be inflated to the "seating pressure" on the tire. Usually between 25 and 35 psi. I leave them inflated that high over nite and it helps let the tire set on the rim.

 

I did inflate them to 30 psi a few times back in may 07 when I first received the quads. The first time did not seem to help, the second time after I slimed the tires it helped but after a few weeks of no use there are always some (most) tires down around 1 psi.

 

Bummer.....hmmmm... have you ever checked the valve stems. I have 2 tires that dont hold air well and the valve stem is the problem. Sure wish I could figure out how to change a valve stem without removing the tire.
