what are my options?

[offrdyj87]

quite a few months ago i cut my tire off road. it still holds air and i've been driving with it as is, but i don't want to risk airing it down again. my plan is to order up a new tire and keep this one as a spare. i still want to fix this one if possible though. do you think a shop would be willing to patch this? are there any other options?

fucking BFGs..

if it holds air, it holds air. my spare has a pinhole in it and it holds air for like 2 weeks.. then i air it back up again.

I would get a new tire and use that as a spare. My spare has a bubble on the sidewall size of a tennis ball (no joke) and it holds air just fine.

Is that RJ's old tire?

get a new tire. i wouldnt risk that on the road. Most likely it will be ok but I would just replace it.

ive had slices that looked like that

i just rocked it

they can be repaired through vulcanization. but not many shops will do it to street tires because of liability. and its expensive

[SupermanIce-J]

My claws look like Freddy Krueger went to town on em. 2 out of 5 have horrible leaks, but there is a gas station a little over a mile from my house w/ an insanely fast compressor, which I use pretty much every time I drive the XJ.

every one knows that the sixth of those 5 tires is the safest
