I have a AC 185 with 18.4x30 rear tires. An old metal fence post was sticking up about 5" and probally can figure out the rest. Can this tire be patched or does it have to be replaced. Cut is about 3" long. Thanks

you can fix it if you realy have to. first sew up the hole with braded wire that is used for fishing line . or heavy fishing line. then glue a patch on the inside thats twice the size of the cut. then put the tire back on the rim. dont forget to use a tube. now with the tire inflated turn the tire so the cut is uppermost and fill the cut with tire patch glue. this method worhs for side walls as well. I have done it to 6 tires over the years and they all have lasted. one I did the side wall on was on the front tire on my friends big(i dont know what model ) international after I ran over an old plow blade. the cut was about 6 inches long.I sewed it up and glued in a patch and put in a tube and he still has it like that now. its been 4 years.admittedly it sat in the paddock for 3 of those years because the engine stopped working. but he has it going again and the tire is still doing its job.

There are several shops around like these.

If you install a patched tire the nagging doubt will always haunt you. If the patched tire fails then you are in more $$$ than a "take off" tire or "blem" tire.

Depending on whether the puncture is in the edge of the tire or in the middle of the tread the answer would be maybe. On the edge the tire would make a good hay feeder. In the middle it is possible it could be sent to a shop that does section repairs and it could be repaired for around $100 just for the repair so then it depends on how good the tire is if you want to spend that much on it. Of course I am talking from a professional point of view, there may be all sorts of shade tree repairs that I couldn't offer because I have to guarantee my work. Good luck.

Have to agree with tire_guy. I'm the one on the other side, a customer with decent sized (20.5-25 and 23.5-25) tires used on loaders and off-road trucks. If you can section the tire it is well worth the time and money. A well done section is as good as the rest of the tire. DO NOT have 14 plugs (or whatever) put in to get by, all you are going to do is hurt the tire and maybe even beyond section repair. Figure on a week downtime and you should be ok. Might only take a couple of days, just depends.

 Section repair..........Re: punctured tire in reply to Paw Paw Dave, 07-04-2005 18:16:39  
Could you give us a detailed explanation of a "section" repair? I just had a cheap boot replaced on an old sidewall repair. The tire is low hours and has had little use however. The repair was on the inside sidewall and I had never noticed it. 1st hint of problems was a slow leak then after a year the tire would stay inflated for only a few hours. When dismounted we found a shade tree repair with a cheapo boot and a handful of dirt. The loose boot and dirt had worn pin holes through the tube.

A section repair is when the injury is cleaned up, and then repairs are made then the tire is cured in a chamber. Most off highway tires are repaired this way " off site", rather than the hot vulcanizing that used to be done " on site", but rarely worked. JohnG

The boot should have been glued fast and if they are properly fastened they will not come loose and it would last a very long time, for him he should use a 6" boot with a 10" placed over the top
