hole in side wall of tire

[joedirt]

hey guys whats the best way to fix a little slice in the sidewall of my tire??? its about quater inch long and letting out a little air... thanks

You can try to plug it and melt the end of the plug. But the sidewall has so much flex in it, it will be hard to plug/seal

i got one too im guna demount the tire and try to patch it if not, slime!

thanks guys im not sure what to do .... i hear the slime is good but messy if u ever have to take the tire off again ... iveheard the samething about plugs too , that the side flex's and is hard to patch .. i would hate to be going down the road and the tire to blow ,, i just bought these tires 2 month ago , they still have the tits on them .. i guess maybe for the 80 bucks i should just break down and get another tire grrrrrrr....... thanks again

I have successfully done a sidewalk repair before but it was the size of a ballpoint pen. It's still holding up after 300 miles.

You might want to stick a tube in there.

Highlifter makes the best sealant for that. Don't wast money on a tube.
