That happend to my dad once after rolling backword down a huge hill. You can just pop the tire back on if you know how. If you don't then you can take it to a tire dealor or an auto mechanic.

i broke the bead on my rims once or twice. just took it to a gas station, put some air in it, but i had to fiddle around with the tire alittle to get it to hold air enough to pop it back onto the bead, but that was it. fill it enough to pop it back into the bead, then let some air out.

If you get the tires and rims into mud and water and then do alot of power sliding or aggresive riding, the mud, dirt and water will seep into the tire and cause it to slip off of the bead. Just take it to the nearest gas station and fill it back up. Don't try to fill it up with the tire and rim siting on the ground. For best results, take the tire and rim off of the ATV and take it in. While you have the tire and rim off get some steel wool and scrubb the inside of the rim near the bead to get aal of the dirt and mud out. If you don't it will leak air. Bead lockers help if this happens to you alot.

Good Luck,

Todd
