Title: Need some advice! Post by: Inyourdraft2000 on March 04, 2005, 01:21:14 PM I have some ITP aluminum wheels on my 4 wheeler that came w/ it when i bought it and they gad stock Honda 400ex tires on them,,,they never ever leaked the whole time I had them...
Now I bought new tires and they keep leaking around the bead.. I have been told to put tubes in them,,,I hate to do that but if anyone has any info on why these wheels wont hold air w/ these new tires I could use the help.. Been wanting to ride and It sucks to look at the 4 wheeler w/ flats. 8) Title: Re: Need some advice!

When I pump them up after setting the beads tight to around 5#'s where they should be I can push my thumbs into the sidewalls right above the rim(beadline) and it will blow air out...they wont leak at all if i ride in a straight line,but who does that...The torque side to side is flexing the sidewall letting the air escape by the bead somehow.....I think I will end up w/ tubes before its over...
