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.

i dont wanna plug it! is there a better way or anyother way??

[brapbrap13]

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!

i think you should buy new tires and give me your razr 2's


j/k:D

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.

the plug would look stupid? does it work... yes


does it work well enough to not worry about how "stupid" it looks... hells yea if somebody is that critical about your quad, they need to stfu

[400exrules]

if you slime your tires, when it comes time to replace the tires....the guys at the shop who do it for you will hate you

[xtullyx16]

I dunno.. i really just dont wanna plug my wheels... but i guess u guys are right about the slime and the rims... would a patch work if its really small??

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?

[xtullyx16]

i have stock rims.. would better rims help from punctures at all?? if soo whats a good rim that isnt the top of the line but good .. more for like trails

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.
