tube in holeshots

[destey]

I have a crack on the sidewall and i've been running tubes but they keep ripping where the fill nipple is. I think I'm getting it centered and i don't think i'm hitting the stem on sticks or rocks. Could it be the tire slipping on the rim? Anyone have a good tutorial on putting them in so they don't go flat after a few rides?

You couldn't plug the hole? I've had as many 4 plugs in some holes that I've had.

Ive got a brand new...less then 1/2 a lap...GNCC that has a 3 inch hole in it. Plugs i doubt will work for us but not sure if anyone around here can vulcanize it

Vulcanizing is a good option if you have anyone around you that can do it.

i think its a 3/4" crack in the sidewall from age and wear. I'm not the original owner but the tires look like they have some age to them.
