Tire problem

I went out in the mud with my new swamp-lite tires on my 2010 Polaris sportsman 550 and when we were heading back to the house I noticed there was a problem with my bike and realized the tire was flat I then inched my way back and cleaned the tire off and found no leaks and put the air back in and have not lost any since. This was my first time out with these tires on the bike. Any ideas of what could have happened or what could be wrong all opinions are appreciated. Thanks for the help!!!!!!

I usually run my tires a little high on pressure for the first few miles to make sure that bead is seated properly then I drop her down. Worked great on these Reapers I just put on my quad.

Hope you are enjoying that new bike. Probably, as stated, the tires were just not seated properly and lost air at the bead. I too like to run a few extra lbs. of air for a few miles and then adjust the pressure to where I like it.
