I just went to the local motor cycle shop and baught 2 tubes. Super easy to instal and never have to worry again. The tubes were $15 each. Before I didn't have them and I would have to fill them up every time I was going to use the trax. Now they are good to go everytime so far.

Can you share more details? Do you have wheels with hubs?
What size are they?

Tubes are the long-term fix! Even as the tires crack and dry-rot, they'll still hold air. Slime's OK, but eventually it will fail. My wheels 25+ years old and on the original tires, albeit using tubes for around 12-15 years. Tubes are available at Tractor Supply, Northern Tool or just about any ATV shop- there are a few different tire sizes that were used as far as I can tell, but all seem to be normal sizes for ATV's
