probally rocks or something, I always had them when I dirt/trail rode..


or maybe ur lucky and have some tire balls in there
maybe someone hid their gold in there..you better look..lol no , what he said..strange enough little pebbles and dirt can somehow get through the bead and get in there..still freaks me out also...
G
they are little beads or something. not too sure but i know my friend has them is his yfz too
They sound perfectly round in there...when I roll the the quad they roll like they are smooth objects of some kind
My stock tires did that too... So did my buddies 07.
It's just little balls of rubber that form in the tires. It's not rocks or sand and it won't hurt anything.
when the tire is molded there are left over pieces inside the tire then they are mounted and over time those piece break loose and thats what you hear rolling around, i put 5$ saying its balls of rubber rolling around lol


lol i read every post except the last 2 lol maybe i should have read them
rubber rabbit turds! lol
im pretty sure its diamonds....... or some jewels of some sort.... you might want to pull your tires apart to figure it out.......... naw man im just kidding, its just rubber rabbit turds.
My stock 05 tires do the same thing. no worries. but i still am not sure what it is. will find out when i get new tires i guess.

my 04 trx 450 also had little ruber made balls when i removed out of the rim
Its probably Jimmy Hoffa. I have the same issue with mine.

or better yet, its Jimmy Hoffa's rubber balls!!!
I bet you'd find rocks in the centers of those rubber balls. I'm pretty sure I checked some once.

AFAIK, rocks/pebbles/debris CAN make their way past the beads. They get jammed in the bead a little and then work there way in as the tire flexes around. I've seen rocks half way in before. The ones that make it all the way get flung around inside and pick up rubber from the inside of the tire. Presto---->rubber covered rocks.
but how do they put the caramel in the center of a caramilk bar?...... :dunno:
