    Can I use a tube

    The front tire On the 125m I just got is very bad and I am On a very small budget. I would like my son to be-able to ride around the yard. I will be-able to put a new tire on next year. Can I get a tube and put it in for now? If they even make tubes the right size?

    Have you ever changed an ATV tire by hand? If you get that tire off of there, my advice is to put a new one back on.

    There are tires for $40 or less.

    Tubes in front tires work great. You shouldn't even need a new tire anytime soon if you use a tube. Just don't use it on a drive tire, because when the tire spins on the rim, it will cut the valve stem.

    You can run a tube just fine bud. Most tire shops will sell you something close enough to work or install it for ya.

    What about screw in style valve stems?

    Just be carefull if you do the tire your self. I had an old rear tire on my dads sx blow on us when we tried to put a tube in it and get the bead to pop. Brused the heck out of my thigh and my ankle when it hit me. BEWARE!! Lol..
