Anyone else had trouble keeping their ATV tires inflated?....between cactus and locust thorns I seemed to spend more time fixing tires than hunting. Tire shops cuss me out because of all the "slime" that's been injected. This year I'm ready....got some new 6 ply Essex tires that have Kevlar belts. Suppose to be puncture proof. Anyone tried them yet?

I've used the slime http://www.slime.com/ for decades. Sandspurs will put so many tiny holes in your tires that this is the only way to to stay on the track or mow around here.
I also use it in my wheelboro's, bicycles, two-wheelers, pretty much any lower-speed pneumatic tire.

Most of the atvs sold around here, come out with 2 ply tires. They are mostly for throwing away after purchase. I put the 4 ply tires on, and don't have any problems with flats. We have a lot of Bodark trees around here, as well as goat heads, and sand stickers, but they don't seem to bother the 4 ply tires.
I tried the 6 ply tires, but they made the ride so stiff, that they were not worth the money to me. I tried the slime, but with little success on the 2 ply tires, but with the 4 ply tires I don't need to use it.
