If your brand new atv tire get punctured every 3weeks is it better to to buy a tube or a new tire?

Hey guys. I have a chinese made atv and front tires get punctured like every 3weeks. I'm a bit tired of it so someone suggested that I buy a tubeinto them(they're tubeless right now). I just wonder if it is a good idea. Thanks.

my first thought would be to replace them with better tires. Second, fill them with "tire slime" so they are self sealing when punctured, and third, I stay away from tubed tires on an atv. If you puncture a tubed tire, you have to dismount the tire, pull the tube, patch it, reinstall the tube, remount the tire and re install it on the atv. with a tubeless tire, you can just carry a small plug kit. if you puncture the tire, pull out the item that punctured it, run the small rat tailed file from the kit into the punture to smoth the edges, place some glue on the new plug and push it into the hole. re inflate the tire and your on your way again. Plus, as I said, I always put tire slime in the tubeless tire so it self seals all but huge holes.
