how to fix gash in side wall of tire?

[wannarunem]

I just ripped a tire trying to pull it off a rim :hammer: ..its the savage stock tires.. the gash is along the side wall and runs straight up(about an 1" long). Can this be fixed or do i gotta buy 2 tires now??

maybe use some sort of industrial glue?..any ideas?

the idea is to not rip up the tires during removal. Here's what I did...

Actually you just use some thick CA glue on it. Just read that in rcca..

 

[beason]

I've used hot glue on speaker surrounds.. it holds good and still lets the surround flex normaly CA glue or supper glue is rigid when it drys it would just crack and break..

CA GLUE and a needle and like 2 or 4lb fishing line and kind stitch it but not too tight to pucker it ,,
i have fixed punctures in real 1:1 off road tires out in the wild and thru some plugs in to get me back to the real world

Thank You Racin 38. I ripped my tire and stitched it back to gether, and hot damn it works perfectly.

get the ca glue with rubber in it if you are going to use ca glue



what is up with those rims??

 

[rbmaxxbasher]

those where trinity rims and they did have premounted tires on them. I wanted them off. When I soaked them in acetone they did not come off so I figured: They're cracked anyway why not completely destroy the rims and save the tires. Therefore I took a ball-pene hammer to them and got my tires off successfully.
