Yesterday My youngest and I took out the Argo to the back of the property, there are two ponds back there, and since this is MN, we have freeze and melt going on, so I just HAD to take the 6wheeler across the pond, it was fun,2 inches of ice, then two feet of water on top of maybe 2 feet of ice.. great time, after that we took it out in the half muddy half frozen swampy crap that surrounds the ponds, and I went through some brush etc. Today the center tire on one of the sides is flat, and I can see that swamp grass has got between the rim and the tire, I am wondering if this is a common occurance, or if maybe the tire pressure was to low letting grass and brush to get between the bead seal and the rim? I am sure some of you have experienced this before, and can lend some insight on what i am doing wrong, because in my mind, I really wasnt beating on the machine.....yet..... but perhaps there are limits?

Please help

I like my tires with tubes in them. My tires on my Max always have bark and grass hanging out of them with no problems. Once I ran over a nail in the yard and tried to go tubeless... after re-beading and gooping the bead TWICE I went back to tubes. No problems now!
