i just bought a set of holeshots off of a guy and they aired up fine but now after a week they started to have slow leaks. I put some slime in them but it doesn't seem to be working, can someone mabey help me out in what i am doing wrong?

 

fill it up with a bunch of air, throw it in your bathtub and find the leak and patch it.

 

Believe it or not I use antifreeze in my tires! I was told this by an old guy on the trail one day and just had to try it. Went from tires going flat every couple of days to never having to put air in them again! Just use an antifreeze tester and put it on the valve stem, with valve removed, and squirt it in. I usually put about 3 testers full in mine!

 

If you don't have an obvious hole in the tire, you probably have a problem with the tire bead seating on your rim. When you mount and dismount a tire, sometimes a little rubber will get shaved off the bead so it won't seal anymore, and when that happens there isn't anything you can do but get new tires.

 

your right i wont believe it till i do it but the question is.......what does the antifreeze have in it that will cure all leaks.
I am boggled with this. What kind of quad do you have and tires?

 

I don't know what it has in it all I do know is that it works. I have a 1990 Honda 300trx 4x4. Some tires were bear claws and it has also worked on stock tires also. I have a nail in one tire now that has been in the tire for about 6 months. It was going down every day untill I put in some antifreeze and it has'nt gone down since.

 

Another trick that works pretty good is to mix equal parts of dish washing liquid and water, with the tires dismounted coat the inside of the tire and let it dry. It sucks to have to take the tires off, but it's cheaper than buying new ones.

 

any kind of antifreeze will work or does it have to be a certain type?
i dont want to mess this up.

 

I just bought the cheapest bottle that I could find! Pure antifreeze, don't mix it!

 

Antifreeze swells the rubber a little sleaing off small leaks. I've used transmission fluid on a leaky bead with the same success!!!
