A friend of mine purchased 26 in rocktane tires on HD beadlock wheels from our local polaris shop that leak around the rim. They go flat in 24 hours. He took them back they put bead sealer on them that didn't work so he took them to a tire shop & they couldn't seal them they recommended tubes. So we went back to the polaris shop they contacted there distributor & the answer was all bead locs leak. How u like that ?

Mine don't leak and I've had them on for over 6 months......30" Roctanes on 14" STI HD beadlocks.

Had mine for almost a year and they leak. One will leak off in 48 hours. I air them up all the time. I have talked to others with the same issue and a few that don't.

I had the 30" Roctanes on STI Beadlock and they all leaked. There was a problem with some of the beads on the Roctanes. They replaced them under warranty and I got Zillas.

I use the Highlifter sealant in all tires not for road use . Never failed me yet .

So are u saying that roctane had some bead problems they are aware of?

I don't think that it's the tire. From what I've read, "all" beadlock wheels are more prone to leaking than a standard wheel.

Yes. My dealer handled it for me. Atvoutfitters

2 of these leak so much you can hear it. Like isaid they have been taken off twice & gobbed with bead sealer.

Polaris dealer decided to put some effort in on the tire problem & replace the roctanes. Thanks to the info on here.

So was it a tire issue or was it a bead lock issue?

I've never heard that "all" beadlocks leak. That's the point of the bead lock, to keep the bead where it's supposed to be at low psi without losing that air.

No leaks with mine. I do run the quad gear puncture sealant. I run on hard pack, pavement, ice, and mud.

All beadlock wheels do not leak. STI told me there was a problem with a batch of Roctanes and they had problems with them sealing on their beadlock wheels. I have had a set of Zillas and now Outlaw radials on the same STI beadlock wheels and have not had a problem with either of them. I do not run any sealant.

So it sounds like I have a couple bead issues with my Roctanes?

I hope Roctanes don't get a bad rap from this post alone, they are my favorite tire to date! I really liked Swamplites, and Bighorns, but they are not even close to a tough tire as the Roctanes.

Seems like an easy question. Has ANYONE had a problem with Roctanes leaking when mounted on a non-bead lock wheel?:glee::encouragement:

True, no problems here.

I don't think they will get a bad rap since we are not sure what the root cause is. I may take one apart and see if I can tell what's going on.
