tore a tyre sidewall, can i replace with tube?

Post by ClintzLux »

as above guys i ripped a hole in the side wall of one of my all terrains today about 30mm down from the tread, and 50mm long.
would a tube do the trick or not?

Short answer, NO.
You may be able to find a tyre place the will be able to vulcanize repair it, but ultimatlely the structural integrity of the side wall is gone and i wouldn't trust it.

tyre places are not aloud to do side wall repairs as it will make your car unroadworthy not even aloud to do it for trailer tyres.

You get a fitterent type of flaaex to the tread area as well as it is built differently. Even if you are successful with your repair it will leak eventually, sometimes catastophically (blowout) which at 100k/h is actually quite scary.

No one will do sidewall repairs locally, I am surprised this bloke did.

the only 4x4 tyres that we used to repair side walls on was for a guy that did comps. tyres were for off road use only.
if you get court with a side wall repaired tyre on the road your car will be put of the road and if you say which tyre place fixed it they will be fined. it is a rather big no no because a high percentage will blow out when at speed

hope you have it on the rear so that when it lets go at 100km mid corner you have a better chance of comming out the other side

I think my life is worth more than a tyre

Cheaper to go to a tyre supplier and purchase a second hand tyre of the same brand, specs and size.
