With the bead lock and inventions like slime do you really need a spare tyre? I agree if you loose a tyre you are really stuck if you are in the middle of nowhere and nothing but in your experience how likely is this to happen and would a spare tyre have solved the problem.

I ruined a tire the first week that I had my Rhino. So I carry a spare tire for the following 6 years and never used it once! No spare tire for me this time. I do carry a plug kit and a small compressor though.

Fixed it for ya

I never carry a spare. Plugs and a compressor has never failed me. May look into tireballs

Tireballs aren't for everyone, they are expensive and cost more than the tire itself. Generally trail riding we run with plugs and a compressor.

Yeah, just looked into those things and way more than I'm willing to spend.

What do you all think about slime? I have heard mixed reviews in the past and have never used it myself, but I am considering it for a tire that just keeps giving me trouble.

Slime sucks it takes a ton of it and it never works anyway

 

[PLAY-DOH]

Tried slime once, messy! Carry plugs and a compressor now but dont need it with beadlocks yet

I have a slow leak from a hole that I put in my back tire last year. Have four plugs in that hole. Just want something to fill in the micro holes.

cant lose but a few bucks trying , i would try !

Mmm tire balls interesting concept, seems like a bit of a overkill, where plugs and a compressor could save the day.

If you cut the tyre then balls could help compared to a puncture and plugs.

The dilemma I have is I'm planning a desert crossing, 2 days of nothing between start and finish. Sounds like a spare tyre is the way to go. May end up as a fashion accessory but hell it looks good on a maverick and rather be save than sorry

why carry a compressor that may fail?... I used to have(and plan on making another soon) an adapter that has a tire chuck on one side of the hose and a semi hard rubber cone on the other side... Press the cone into the exhaust for a sec and Viola!.. Instant air... It worked like a champ and would air up a tire in about 3 sec.. this was on one of my early quads (Warrior 350) and it was a super easy fix that didn't require 12 volt power and carrying a slow compressor..
