I think you'll like the Hoosiers. They work better on the slick greasy tracks around here and last longer than M/T's

They wouldn't fix the leak because it was on the sidewall on the M in MT. Any way to fix that? I used duct tape to rig it up and it's losing about 1 lb/20 min or so.

Looks like tubes are in your near future

So If I run tubes it should fix it?

If the sidewall is not damaged too much. A pinhole should be fine but any cut, tear or cord damage is not.

if you bought 'em new, & haven't run them, return the defective one. if their used, probubly best to have a knowledgeable tire store put a patch on the inside & buy some M/T tube's.

I bought them used and the tire store refused to repair them.

Patch it yourself and run some tubes.

That's what i'm planning on at the moment. Anyone else feel free to chime in if there's going to be anything wrong with that.

you could go this route also if the hole is truly a pin hole. a bike tire patch kit from walmart would probubly work ok. just make shure the patch is flat & stuck good, other wise it'll damage the tube. also make shure to order rim screw's, a must have with tubes (really a must have period, but we already covered that)
