usually a hold in the side wall means your ****ed. you can try one of the brown sticky plugs but it will probably come out since there arent any steel cords to hold it in. a patch might hold up for a little while but the sidewall flexing would make it peel off most likely.

Post a pic of the hole with something in it and a tape measure in the pic. I am pretty sure i can fix it though.

I've got 3 plugs in the side of my BFG mt. They leak SLOWLY. I would say about 5 psi per week.

If they were worth a damn I would say get them fixed but not worth the money.:redneck:

Patch it up with a large patch, especially in a sidewall is a hard area due to flex. I've double patched a tire before, one outside and the one inside! Why are they not warrantied? Definitely post a pic.

Just throw some tire plugs at and call it good

Brian H · Mar 27, 2007

Or do a true section repair and call it good. You just cant throw a patch on it or plug it and think that its fixed. Temperally yes but the right way is a section repair .That way the new rubber and patch cure to the exsisting rubber .It really doesnt matter to me either way. Fix it the right way or suffer in the long run.

its a half inch long paper cut basically, but leaks like a mother ****er. ill work on getting a pic here soon. but getting it there to you Brian Might be an issue, i might not have a ride down. or i can drive it but make frequent stops to check it.

I was also told to try Alpine tire in woodinville.
