Trailer tires?

atv tires that came on a 2005 500 cat
Wiser's De Luxe
Yep.

Had them going flat and coming off my 2005 650 H1 Cat.
Front two only.
Carslisles as well.
Took then to the tire shop in town and they cleaned the beads, put some type of ruberized bead sealer on the beads and they have been good ever since.
Been running them for a couple of months now.
They saids they do loads of ATV tires with this stuff.

Yes mine are doing the same thing, went riding the other day and slid into the side of a ravine and the front right popped off the bead totally, put a ratchet strap on it and got it back on the bead and made it home on the flat, took it off and brought it to my neighbor who is a tire shop and had him take it off and clean bead and put some rubber seal on the bead of the rim popped it back on and haven't had a problem since, about 150 miles on it now again. yesterday I noticed one of the back ones doing the same thing but the bead area was full of mud and grass. I am buying a new set of 27" Mud Lites for the stock rims and will buy another set of rims in the fall for the stock radials so I can use them for plowing snow instead of trail riding and playing in the Mud will be for the MUd Lites. Anyone else with bad shock bushings Mine are totally shot now and just had the dealer put in new ones again, 3rd time now I must get those new ones made out of a diff. material

I got an 05' Mine has never gone flat or come off..... guess I got lucky.

Ride it harder in places you shouldn't be and I bet they start leaking or start to come off the bead, Mine were fine as long as I rode it like a Grandma but you start banging off of the sides of ruts and stuff and I will bet they start to leak or fall off

One of my rear tires has a slow leak. ('05 500) The problem with the rear is that they hold so much air that 2 lbs looks nearly the same as 5 lbs, so if the tire is a bit low I can imagine that they come off very easily.

My bike didnt really move much the last month of winter, then a few weeks ago I notice the rear tire looking a bit low. It didnt have enough pressure to register on the digital tire guage I have. The tires are checked frequently, but it lost that air from just sitting there. It seems to be loosing air faster now than last fall. :cn:

I bet it is a bead leak !!! most common with radials from my past experience with them

Put high tack that you use on gaskets around the rims. We use them on the race car wheels and they never come apart. I never had a problem, but we never used it hard.

i have carlisle radials on my outlander(i know this is the cat section) and i saw this topic , sooo....i have never had that problem , nor has my friend with his 400 cat .

I can let mine sit for a few days and all of the tires will be low on air, and have to air them up before I can ride, I am ordering up a set of 27" Mud Lites this week for mine, and will be usiong the stockers for snow plowing next winter

never even let the 05 500 come out of the showroom with those carlisle tires on it. never should have switched from the titan 489. that was a very good tire. the 99 300 and the 00 500 had them could go anywhere compared to honda and so on.

plus the cousins 500 and 650 has them but he has had no problems with them

I just put a set of 26x9x12 and 26x11x12 Mud Lite XTR's on it and love them so far, put about 300 miles on them so far and the ride is better than with the stockers I feel with twice the traction

My friend has had this problem with his '04 500 and now his '06 H1.

Had his brother-in-law machine him new bushings out of stainless and problem solved.

I ordered a set from the guy on here who makes them..
