What is in my tires

I just picked a used 06 trx450er and something is rollong around in my rear tires? Sounds like balls of some sort?

Probably rocks!

Really? In both tires?

[esr250r86]

do you run beadlocks?

No beadlocks...stock tires and wheels...it's weird becuase they roll around like there are some kind of balls in there.

dust and dirt rolls around in there and creates little balls, if you get a new tire and quickly grab the old tire you will probably be able to see them.

its little piece of like rubber. I have them in my tires. I dont know if they are put there of it just forms but its a bunch of pellet gun bullet sized rubber balls.

I had that on my 400ex, a little pieace of sand or dirt gets inside the tire at one point. Then the little grain rolls around the tire as the tire spins. At this point the snowball affect starts. It rolls and rolls and keeps collecting rubber. I've never seen it leave that noticable of a trench in a tire before but I've seen them the size of quarters before.

This guy is correct. Same thing on my Raptor's stock tires. For some reason it seems like little rubber balls come loose inside the tires after a while and then you hear them rolling around. Nothing to concern yourself with. When you change the tires they'll come out.

come on now guys its a plug someone poped the tire and put a plug in it and the part that was inside broke off from vibration and now is rolling around inside.

i had a buddy that lets just say wasnt completely their, anyways he thought the things rolling around were bb's, so when he replaced his tries he put like 3 or four bb's in each wheel. i thought it was pretty funny:D
