Most of the atvs sold around here, come out with 2 ply tires. They are mostly for throwing away after purchase. I put the 4 ply tires on, and don't have any problems with flats. We have a lot of Bodark trees around here, as well as goat heads, and sand stickers, but they don't seem to bother the 4 ply tires.
I tried the 6 ply tires, but they made the ride so stiff, that they were not worth the money to me. I tried the slime, but with little success on the 2 ply tires, but with the 4 ply tires I don't need to use it.
