Atv Tire repair

[merc_man]

I had a stick jamed inbetween tire and rim causing a leak.
I had a heck of a time getting the bead to break and in the process kinda damaged the bead area. Im wondering about any methods to make it seal befor i reseat it. Was thinkin of a bead of rtv sealant or something and as last resort i guess a tire tube.

Anyone else have any ideas to try?

Tubes are your best bet at no leaks.... That said, I'd put a finger full of silicone on the spot when I mounted it and slime it.

Only thing im woried about the tubes would be puncturing the tire. Its my wood getter in the woods. I just pulled a peace of wire fence out of the other tire. With a tube id have to unmount tire evertime something puntured it.

Slime is awesome. I usually only know I hit something because of the green spot.

Will the slime work in a tube if i get a small punture?

Yes. I like to think of it as a nail hole fixer...

The bonus with tubeless and slime is you can plug it.... No pulling tires.

I'd do this.

Another benefit of slime is it makes the holes that need to be plugged easier to find. I've even used a bolt to plug a stob hole that was to big for a plug on a slimed atv tire. Held air just fine.

Me too. With a nut on it. I called it traction.

Well i tried the rtv silicone. That crap spashed all over when it popped into place.
I let all the air out. Gonna let it.set for half hour or so tjen put a couple pounds in and top ot up tomorrow after work and check for leaks

I've been using these on wheelbarrow, garden tractor, etc. tires as I need them, and they're pretty nice.

An atv tube is abput 40 bucks here with no slime. Id hate to see the price with slime

There a *b-word to break down.we used to put a 2/6 on rim and dr.up it with a cehicle to break em down.then use tire lube from a comm.tire store whwn airing back up to seat bead.and rake off as it filked back up.made easier for next tire break down too.

At first i tried the dride.on with 2x6. The i built a tire bead breaker. Then tried the high lift jack under the bumper of rv. Then i looked to you tube and discovered the bead buster. Built one and thats the beast that got it off. Checknthem out on youtube they work ausome.

i usually use my log splitter to break beads...put a oak 6x6 sideways against the wedge put the bead against the 6x6 and push the other side with the push plate...
