How to Patch ATV Tires
Off-roading on your ATV can be a lot of fun until the tire goes flat. Many trails can have unsafe or sharp items that can flatten a tire on your ATV. There is no need to push the ATV all the way home when your tires have the capability of being liquid-patched. Liquid tire sealer is a foamlike substance that you inject into the ATV tire; it will seal the hole and then inflate the tire.
