Default pxt tires

I quickly found out that Slime and sport quads don't mix. Felt like the whole front end was going to shake loose over 50MPH

havent hurd much about them. thread height isnt very good w/ only 3/4" as to me once you round the corners off the lug you loose have the thread use. if the pxt tires were a 6 ply. then they would be an awsom around tire which great traction in most areas. once i plug this tire im sure it will serve me for many miles to come. there again i switch to my xtr's in the sprin mud for some fun [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

How do you tell how many Ply the tire is, the dealer just told me that each Star on the side is 2 Ply and my stock PXT have 3 stars = 6 Ply or is dealer jerking my chain?

Slime is hard on the wheels, I would not put that in my tire if I had decent wheels, like yours.

Most tire and wheel dealers around here will not work on any tires or wheels with slime in them. They (two of the best local tire shops) told me what I posted. IT is especially hard on Alum. I know absolutely nothing about it other than what those dealers have told me. I do know them well enough it is not just to get more business.
