Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've got a fairly new BFG M/T (95%ish) that I just had a rock go through, It has a good sized hole in it (2cmX2cm) that I'm having difficulty finding a place to repair... Is it possible to repair a hole that large? If so, can anyone recommend how?

My thought is to somehow plug the hole and put a tube in it... Reason being... Well... 35" muddies aren't cheap.

tyre shop should be able to patch it and put a tube in it and be ok

I've take the tyre to a number of shops and they have all said not repairable.


the hole is a little different to described above. there was a rock appro.x about the size & shape of a spear head between the tread, it has somewhat ripped a chunk about 3cm sq off the inside and is around 3-4cm long on the outside and about a 1cm wide,
I was told today that due to the size an inner tube was not possile (this I don't understand)

but if anyone knows anywhere in or near syd that would do it for a reasonable price (less then $150) then please let us know.

I blew the back tyre out twice in fortnight at work (real sharp rock)

blew the same tyre front right in the side wall got it fixed, you could put 4 fingers in the holes. so it should be able to be fixed even if you just use it as a spare now

Thanks for the replies guys, can any one recommend a place in Sydney that'll do the repairs?

i work at a mech/tyre joint and it maybe able to be done but from a bussinses side of things you have to evaluate if it'll be safe (even for a spare) it may have structaly damaged the tyre in this case i don't think i'd touch it. Anything upto a basic pen size can be pluged (not rope plug) 20x20mm sounds a bit on big side of things. Maybe try a shop that does truck tyres/repairs

Is it worth repairing....any chance it has damaged the structural integrity of the tyre. I pose this question as our vehicles run low profile tyres and are prone to damage. The force policy is to replace only due to the speeds that we get up to


This is a luxury that we take for granted as unlike the general public ,we don't have to fork out the dosh for the replacement

I'm not entirely convinced there is any structural damage to the tyre... Worst case it'd be used as a spare anyway... I just can't see the point of forking out a few hundred dollars for a tyre I'll only use once or twice... I'll try con the missus into a set of Baja claws for christmas.

get someone to put a big ass truck patch on it and a tube should be ok
