In Reply to: Hole in side of tire posted by Stephen Newell on November 08, 2011 at 17:43:24:
If your garden tractor will go 60 MPH I would like to buy it. I worked for an outfit 25 years ago that had a backhoe tire that hit a piece of rebar and ripped the side of the tire. They took it to the tire shop and had them dismount it. Then they took it to their shop and put a boot of sorts in it. The boot was a piece of tire that was bolted in place. They they took the tire back to the tire shop and had it remounted. It lasted with the makeshift boot for about 7 years. That was as I said about 25 years ago and people weren't quite as sue happy as they are now. You might be able to have them break the beads lose and then take it home and fix it yourself with a boot over the hole and a tube inside. That size of tire would be very easy to mount. I talked to a tire guy about patching a hole in the side of a tire because another shop said they COULDN"T patch the sidewall (6penny nail). He said he had done it before in emergency situations. The problem with patching the side of a tire is the flex in the side of the tire. He said the patch often times won't stay so that's why they won't fix them. It is kind of like putting a band-aid on the palm of your hand it generally won't stick very good. My vote is a boot to keep the tube in and the tube will take care of the air leak issue.
