Cut TSL Sidewall - Posted By lil-bronc (lilbronc) on 25th Jun 08 at 4:52pm
Okay, I have got a pretty big piece of the sidewall that is cut back. It is not all of the way through but it is to the steel cord. It leaks and I do not want to buy a new tire.

Is there a place that will patch it. Or is that a waste of time.

Thanks guys.

I'm curious about this too.....

I have a TSL that has a similar thing except not quite as deep and doesn't leak. but if anything hits it just right, there's not a lot of material to keep it from going all the way thru...........

I just picked up some patches from Napa. I figure I will try that first, then if it still leaks I will try to vulcainizing.

Thanks..

Thanks Kranker......

It is back on the wheel and holding air, for now. I am going to add some slim for double protection.

And, melting rubber and plugs wasn't as successful as I
