tire issues

[killagip]

has anyone figured out a solution to preventing tires from coming off of the rim.... i have good tire pressure but this issue has caused my max iv to get stuck a few times. will tubes be a good solution to this

Tubes won't help, the valve stems will just shear off if the tire spins on the rim. The best solution would be to order some Recreatives K lock rims from Recreatives. Amphibious Six-Wheel Drive All-Terrain Vehicles: MaxATVs - Call 1-800-255-2511 I have them on just about all my AATVs and I've never lost a bead, even running them at 1 PSI.

Another option is to use some Permatex High Tack gasket sealant on both the inner and outer beads. It's best to demount the beads on each side, and clean them up as best as you can to remove and dirt, rust, loose paint etc. Put a good dose on both the rim and the tire bead and remount the tire. It's messy stuff, but works great and might get you fixed up.

Permatex High Tack is great for tires like hydromike said. I took my conquest on a shake down run after a complete bearing, flange , and chain replacement and in the process, I knocked 6 of my 8 tires off the beads. Got it the tires cleaned and glue with the permtex and rode hard at the 2012 Spring Busco. All the tires stayed on the rims.

could you guys get me the compound # for the permatex that you use? i did a search and found a few different compounds. thanks

[hydromike]

It's #80062. Napa carries it, but only in small 4oz. tubes by me. There are larger brush-on containers that you can find at some other stores..... I think that 4oz. is about enough to do both sides of two 12" rims or so.

Yes,I agree. Permatex Hi-Tack is the "stuff" for this application. Going to finish Deluxe Beadbreaker tonite (I'll post some pic's) and plan on sealing the remainder of the beads on my six Raw lll's on the Argo. Up to this point I have only done this service to the field de-rimmed beads after breaking them back down at home to get all the crud out.To my recollection (which isn't too good,lol) I don't think any of the serviced one have failed in the field.And I do run them @ 1 1/2-2 psi and that Argo is HEAVY. I have a small brush-on can as Mike mentioned at home,I can post the PN a little later.

thanks everyone good advice all around, i may opt to get the rims and tires and use the permatex as well, i hope it works or i may trade my max iv for an argo
