holeshot hd problems

[81 clark racing]

both my rear holeshot hds are junk, tires still have 80 90 % tread left. right by the bead on the tire where it meets the rim is cut in several spots so now they leak. i dont no how this happened maybe a defect in the tire? any1 else have this problem i also think it could have been from the guy i had swap my tires over hmm. now im stuck paying 154 for new holeshot hds.

if your having problems with the HDs, why buy another set? i havent ever heard of that problem.

would you consider selling them:devil: if so do you have any pics of the tread thats left and where its leaking?

I never have had a problem yet with my tires. It's just the fronts suck really bad in mud but that's my only complaint about them.

imo the hds are the best trail tire i love them. i really think the reason there cut is from the guy who swaped them over and remounted them. ya im going to try and mount them on my beadlocks and see what happens. why you would want to buy tires that leak? only thing there good for are like a serious burnout haha. they have 80 90% tread left

its leaking right at the bead of the tire and rim. so im hoping if i put them on my beadlocks this will solve the problem

are ur rims bent plus if u had dirt around the bead it wont seal so id break the tires down and get some bead sealer its really stick but works great ive useed it acouple times it works awsome...

love my HDs! my brother's dog was chasing me on my quad and trying to bite my tires when i first bought them. he was telling her to stop. i was like "na dont worry about it, they are six ply tires, she cant bite through them." i turned off my bike and heard a hissing sound, she bit through! no problems since then though, same plug and it hasnt ever leaked.

Tube them.

you would not believe how many holeshots leak at the bead. if you do a search you will find that it is very common for itp tires. it isn't the HD's in general. my buddies xc's are the same way. a few of them seal but 2 of them do not. i think it is just a problem with itp because i don't see any problems with the other brands.

I had a set of xcr's that leaked in the beads, I got them when new in 02. I had bead sealer put in, they are still holding the same air and still at 75% thread. I have another set that leaks in the same place, bead sealer will be installed in them.

how do you still have 75 percent tread? thats crazy they wear pretty fast

[deathman53]

didn't for me, I had a set of 03 xcr's that wore really quick. And leaked really bad too.

i put them on my beadlocks and the side that the bead was cut i put up so my chrome ring bolted down on that side. and there good to go!!!
