Hello all
First post here, thought I would go to the experts here. I’ve got a 02 Grizzly 660. Had original radial tires when I bought it, smooth as silk BUT I ride by railroad tracks and kept getting flats from old rr spikes going through the tires, would have never guessed that could happen. Ended up buying Grim Reaper tires, awesome, no more flats and MUCH better traction. Problem, slow leak on most tires, much worse in cold. No punctures, leaking at bead. I don’t want to use the tire slime inside as concerned about out of balance, especially in winter. Thought I would just have inner tubes installed in all tires and problem solved. I am using factory rims and with the placement of the stem it looks like I would need a tube with an off-set stem.
1. Has anyone else put tubes in their tires to solve bead seal problems?
2. Does anyone know of off-set stem tubes? I cannot find any in my size. 25×10 R12, 25×8 R12
3. Will normal center stem tubes work with these rims? Sure don’t look like it!
4. For full disclosure I will say I’ve d
No experience with I
The tire slime, just don’t like the idea of it in the tire. Can’t imagine it doing the valve in the stem any good either.
