I was spinning my rears freely the other day and heard what sounds to be rocks, dirt, etc in them. I lowered the tire pessure down to 1 lb psi for sand riding, is it possible dirt got in there? I took off one wheel, and there is definitely something in there!!

I mean I shook the tire and could hear it, couldn't break the bead, any ideas how to do that? I tried a crowbar and jumping on it with out luck.

its actually not dirt, mine do that too. They are little pieces of rubber that come off of the inside of the tire and just bounce around inside. its not anything to worry about. mine have been that way for almost 2 years. But if you like hold the front brake and and powerbrake it like on concrete in your garage the tires will hop cause all of the rubber things will go to one place inside the tire.

Mine do it and I thought it was gravel from high speed sliding in the gravel pits.Oh well, can't hurt much.

The Stock tires are a huge pain in the *** to break down. Bring them to a Garage with a good tire machine they will be able to Pop them off.. After you break'em down the frist time its a lots easier after that. :D

Mine do the same thing, I though it was rocks from powerslides and a soft sidewall. They have been doing that for almost two year now without hurting anything so I wouldn't worry about it. My new Ohtsus will be here next week and I will find our for sure what the noise really is.

They make really cool balls inside your tire ---I had some as big as marbles!
