Just gotta tell somebody - Honda Foreman Forums : Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher and Recon Forum

A few weeks ago I bought an 09 rubicon. When I got it home I swapped the 26 bearclaws from my 05 rubicon. Without saying, the 05 sat for the last two weeks, so a couple of day ago I decided to get it out to blow the dust off. I rode the same route I normally have taken the last couple of years about 30 minutes round trip. Can't see how I managed without PS. [ kidding ] The next morning, I went out to the garge to find FOUR flat tires on the 05. 5 miles on brand new dunlop tire and honda wheels and all FOUR flat. Each one a one thron in it. Same path, much cheaper tires. Doesn't say much for stock rubicon tires.

I just a bought a new 09 as well. I thought the tires looked cheap. Good thing to watch for when the snow leaves as mine haven't seen bare ground yet.

With all four flat, you know it wasn't a fluke.
