go to a auto parts store and u can buy a kit for like 5 bucks that comes with 3 plugs a tool that makes the hole bigger to fit the plug and the tool to put the plug in.

this happened to me today. one of my tires majicaly lost air!!! luckly i was near a walmart so i walked there, bought this seal stuff, not slime. its ain a compressed can and it comes with air. u deflate ur tire then feel it up with this tube and check ur air pressure and ur ready to go mine hasnt leaked since!

go to either your dealer or the auto parts store and see if you can find some tire sealant that you pump in through the valve stem. you have to let the air out and take the core out then reinstall it. The sealant doesn't always work but its worth a try. The green slime that was mentioned before is the same stuff.

I would put a plug in it. Sealant is nasty stuff I would only use it in an emergency. It makes your tire unbalanced and makes a mess.

does it really make it unbalanced and everything?? ill check with my dad when i get home... he should know what to do... plus the plug would look stupid. Im jus soo mad that my razr 2 got a hole in them they were like 80 bucks each(bad deal ik).....damnit

I had slime in my YFZ stockers, I really didnt notice a unbalanced feeling in the air at all. I would just use slime.

Take the tire off and put a radial patch on the inside. That way you don't have to ream the hole out.

that or put a tube in it

I can't think of what the stuff is called, but you put it on the air nozzle on the tire, and spray. It's like a foam, and it goes around the inside of the tire and covers the hole?

Don't use slime or fix-a-flat, those are emergency fixes and yes, the tire shop will kill you when they have to remove the tire in the future. Just take your tire off the rim and put in a regular patch. Or tube it. Although sometimes tubes will make the tire a little taller than the other tire that doesn't have a tube. Your best bet is just to patch it. Your stock wheels are fine for trails. Unless you want hipers, which is the ultimate trail wheel.
