P1000 OE Armstrong Dirt Master?

[Punctilious1]

Hey everyone!

I unfortunately had my first ”incident” with my 1000-5 today. I was scooting at a fair pace with my nephews and I got too close to a large rock that caught my front passenger tire pretty good. It caused a flat immediately. I don’t see any other damage thankfully.

I had it in mind to remove and take the whole wheel to a local discount tire so that they could check it to see if it can be fixed. I’m guessing not, so I would then order a replacement tire of the same kind because the tires only have about 250mi on them. But, I cannot for anything locate these tires online for sale or even on the Armstrong website. Are these available for purchase? Armstrong Dirt Master 27x9.00r14 is the brand /size.

Thx for any info you can provide!

Probably an odd size they made for Honda only

There's guy selling them on ebay as take offs, but its probably a dealer only item for now and I'd bet there expensive

Probably best and cheapest option would be to buy a set of takeoffs from someone near by. Maybe check local dealers too. Most people upgrade at some point to a bigger/better wheel/tire set.

Wondering if I can just pick up something similar to the OE tire and run an odd ball in the front until I get around to replacing all four, maybe with an upgrade to have all one size.

Most likely you hit it so hard you blew it off the bead. NoHmo. Do u see any physical tears in the tire? If not, put a ratchet strap around the tire so the bead of the tire is touching the rim all the way around good, then give her some air from a compressor and you will eventually set the bead and the tire will be back on the wheel. Check for leaks with soapy water. Install in sxs and give her hell!

Like @Remington said, you may have just popped it off the rim. Do you see any actual damage to the tire? If not, it's an easy fix.

I can’t see any obvious damage to the tire so you’ve got me optimistic that this may be all I need to do. Thanks for the ratchet strap idea! I’ll try it as soon as I have some time.

If the ratchet strap trick doesn't work due to low air volume from your compressor ........... you can give your tire about a quarter second burst "at most" of starting fluid ....... it don't take much at all ........ light it with a bbq lighter and it will pop the tire back on the bead ...... be ready to add air once it pops on.
It's a little spooky the first time you have to use this technique but works very well ............. Very little fluid goes a loooong ways .....

Was able to take a closer look with the wheel off the buggy. I see where the rock punctured the sidewall - about a dime size hole. Also I see where it hit the wheel but I’m hopeful it didn’t bend the rim and a new tire can be mounted. What do y’all think (pics attached).

Thinking I need a new tire at least, so I’m back figuring how best to proceed in the short term. My OCD wants me to get an identical replacement, but my practical side says get something close and upgrade all four when it’s time to replace.

I see the damage on the left, but is this a crack or is that just dirt/crap that looks like a crack?

Looks like a good excuse for some new skins and fancy wheels IMO

Just took a closer look and confirm that it’s of the dirt/crap variety. Below is a better pic. My finger is pointing to the tire damage and the wheel damage is directly above it.
