um since there beadlocks i dont think so, i just took off my stock tires off my stock rims and there was lots of little balss fo dirt and clay from the track
they aren't rocks .. they are little balls of rubber from the inside of the tires.

mine are actually sand and clay from the desert and the track, and its not rubber, there how in the heck would rubber form into a ball when the its inside of the tire where nothing rubs but the bead, the dirt balss were brown in mine
its rubber pellets...trust us...the more you disagree the more you sound like an ***

yeah mine had little balls in them too. i think i actually still have them in the stock tires which are in the attic and i could look, but i think Jumbo is right.

I agree with jumbo. Have you ever tried to break a bead on a stock tire? It's a huge pain. If it's that hard just to break the bead, how could rocks get inside of the tire? Think about it.
& today I have to travel around & see if someone will remove my front stock tire from my bent rim...this should be a fun day b/c no one around here wants to do it b/c its the biggest PITA for them...

jumbo dont flame people cause they ask a question
you act like you are god or something when in fact your a little punk kid

i think you must be oblivious to it

ive broken the bead on my 450 tires 2 times from hitting a stump or rock and lost all my air
so yes you could get rocks in there by doing 60mph around corners and chit which i do
how come that its never happened on my 400's
maybe i had low air pressure on the 450

oh well its prolly uhh umm rubber or something

I'm not trying to flame anyone, just saying that stock tire beads are sealed like a mofo. I've never heard of anyone breaking a stock bead on a 400ex. I'm sure it may have happened to someone. I had rocks stuck between the rim and the tire, but not inside the tire.

maybe some1 said already(didnt read) but they are the result of the glue used to mount the tire. When u go pretty fast soft glue comes loose and gets made into a ball and eventualy dries...

its glue from the factory to seal the tires... tires heat up glue melts into lil balls... its not rocks...
