Any suggestions? I have a ZRT w/ both the front and back tires have picked up nails. I’m guessing the tubes need replacing. I removed the tires and wheels but really don’t want to deal w/ replacing the tubes after watching YouTube fails.

Also, it would be nice if the new tubes could have angled stems but beggars can’t be choosers. Any help is as always appreciated.


ETA: thanks baws for the suggestions. Much appreciated!!!

If it's the OEM tires they are probably tubeless. For nail holes go to walmart or harbor freight and buy a tire plug kit for $10 and plug the nail holes.

They are likely tubeless.

Patch the holes from the inside or replace.

After battling slow leak in both front tires, I finally got no flats for my Scag ZTR. They weren't cheap, but am very happy with them. Just an option to consider.

Call Ragusa's Automotive on goverment street and speak to Phillip. He's helped me out before and if he can't help you out he'll direct you to the best guys in town for that job.

I recently did this on my John Deere zero turn and after plugging holes for years I haven’t had a problem in a couple months.

I had a bad experience with this on a long term Ariens ZTR.

The moisture inside the rims from the slime corrdoed the rims so bad they stopped holding air at the bead from the rust bubbles.

It did help with nuisance punctures but I ended up having to strip and repaint the wheels later.

Pick your poison.

Mavis Tires & Brakes on Coursey.
They just fixed my ZRT tires. They’re great and cheap.
