Most people will tell you to fork over for a new tire,but I've seen em come into the shop patched up all different ways. Some patched the sidewalls and ran em until they gave out. Some used tubes.Even a smaller 25x10x12 tube would at least help for awhile or close to the tire size.https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p...aster-ATV-Tube
Amazon.com: Trans American 26x12-12 / 26x12.00-12 Inner Tube with TR-13 Straight Valve Stem: Automotive Amazon.com: Trans American 26x12-12 / 26x12.00-12 Inner Tube with TR-13 Straight Valve Stem: Automotive
Plus here's one guy's "fix"

Don't do tubes because if the rim slip inside the rim on a tubeless its not a big deal but with a tube it sheers off the tubes air valve stem. Buy one 26 x 11 - 12 even if its a different brand.

The tire slip happens more then you think, sometimes you will not even notice. Here is a video of it happening ,towards the end you see the guy's right rear tire looking like its not turning but the rim inside the tire is. 1:35 in video.
As it stands the guy just needs air but if he had a tube it would be a long tow home.

Ps: Its also a good video showing that diff lock will get you out of spots 4wd won't.
