I put 589 M/S tires on my 650 last week. Well I went to muddiest swamp I know and got stuck for 4 hours. The right front tire (27"/9"/12&quot spun on the rim. I took it to work today cleaned it out and remounted it. Put it back on and went for a ride. I was climbing a very steep hill with a lip at the top. I was almost to the top when the right front tire spun on the rim causing my quad to tumble over backward and sideways. Me and the quad tumbled down the hill into a tree. No injuries to me and a broken brake lever on the quad. I was very lucky. Does anyone have any solution to this problem with the tire? Is something wrong with it?

 

WOW, I'm glad to hear you're ok. I don't know what to do about the tire.

 

Glue it to the rim next time you install them

 

get bead lock rims. they are expensive but will provide what you are looking for. hope this helps.

when yu put your new tires on did you put it on with new rims or did you use your old rims?

 

poor man`s beadlok, get about 4 small sheetmetal screws and space them out evenly. put a little bit of silicone on the screws.

 

Just an update. I spoke with ITP tires today.They had me re-seat the tire then let the air out and push on the tire to see if I could unseat it. I was able to push the tire off the rim by hand. There is a problem with the tire. I was told by ITP to have my selling dealer contact them for warranty service. Remember this tire is brand new.

 

Did you air up so tire so the bead popped on the rim.

 

yes I had put enough air to seat the tire
