[x rider1291]

i need help guys...i went riding the other day and when i got home my tire was flat...i found that i have a very very small hole in my sidewall on my front tire...is there any way i can fix it...and i mean this hole is as small as the period at the end of this sentence lol literally. any suggestions!?!?!?

tire plug

side wall holes are tough to patch up but the hole being that small I would try tire slime or something

you can tube front tires and it seems to work pretty well, i wouldnt recommend doing it on the rear b/c you rip valvestems out very easily...

Tire plugs are the way to go. A patch won't stick to the sidewall, and slime will just make a mess once you have to change tires. If you tube a tire, and pop the tube...you are back at square one. Only this time you will have to break the tire back down to fix it.

Throw a plug in it and be done with it. You can get a kit at any automotive store.

yeah like the rest said use a plug i seen a guy with 10 plugs on his sidewall of his yzf and he finnished the season with the same tire

yea someone told me not to use a plug because the sidewall flexes too much but i didnt think it would be a big deal because the hole is so small....but thanks guys i appreciate the help
