Riding with the family this afternoon on a rocky, bumpy trail.

Wife says it looks like my tire is flat - I get off and sure enough the tire looks like it's at 0 pressure.

Decide to ride home as we're only about a mile from the house. Everyone's ridden on a flat before - not fun, but doable.

Get home, take the wheel off and start looking for damage to the tire to see what caused the flat. I don't see any damage on the tire.

Decide to try adding air, instantly hear the air coming right back out. Look closely at the tire/wheel to see if it's still seated in the bead.

How old/how many miles on the quad?? I guess whatever the answer is, it still aint good.

 

The tires are almost new, the wheeler is a 2007 with 975 +/- miles on it. The wheel was in real nice shape before this, with no big dings or anything.

Not really sure what the heck could cause something like that to happen going down the trail. I had just hit a decent sized bump, but no worse than 100 I had hit before on the same trail.

 

the stock tires are junk time for some after market
