Having great time with new renegade.Had one problem with front tires though.Seems that tires were going flat frequently.Took to dealership they checked it, resealed but to no avail.Did some investigating myself and found that the areas i pin pointed were air was leaking is where overspray from black paint ran on inside of rim where tire beads.
Wire brushed areas seems to have cured problem.Anyone one else had leak problems ? I suggest checking this as a possible cause
Let the mud Fly:drink4:

I have the tire shop, not the dealer, coat all my beads with liquid rubber sealer before installing the tire on the rim. Now the only problem I have is hitting sharp rocks and stumps, that seems to make them go flat real fast :eek: I have heard that 27" xtr tires are bad for bead leaks.

Yes you must find them. Not quite the protection of the Outlander but close. Get the one's that have the splash guards inside the front wheels and you will be happy (and clean) mudder. Sawa Renegade come back to camp at Swan Hills this weekend, no flares, couldn't even tell what color it was. Mine was about 20 heavier but I was clean.

Kevin at Rapid Revolutions here in Edmonton sells them. But since you aren't from near here, your best bet would be to find a dealer that sells the Kimpex line of products, as it's my understanding the fender flares are sold through them now. Hope that helps.

I knew the question would come up again. I should be reprimanded for not remembering the name of the shop but it's north of 118 ave around 149 street. Sort of. Come on Ron, somebody help me out here.
