Punctured tire

[dirtriderex]

At a xc race this weekend I hit something sharp and put a 1/2" slash on the sidewall. These tires were brand new and cost a bit too. Is there any way to repair this?

yes with a tire repair kit,look on rocky mountain atv.com for them,i had to use one,and actually let it dry and leave it for a day to dry and you will be good

fill it full of plugs.

use the good kind that look like rope with tar on them!!

I didn't think you could repair a slash in the sidewall. I thought it would flex too much for any patch or plug to hold. I know on an automotive tire you can go like 1/4" below the tread on the sidewall and plug it but that's all you'll be able to go due to the flexing.

yep just plug it, i have a 2 inch cut in my sidewall so i stuck 4 rope plugs in it and holds air fine.
