Fix for leaking tires?

[masterhacker]

tubes suck, the valve stems shear off

ya if you use lawn and garden tubes, and not atv tubes. Really if you are looking to get new tires in short order I would not use slime, it is the devil to those that have to change work on tires.

Where all good. Plugged the little b*stard this morning.

you plugged the sidewall............?

i plugged the sidewall of my 31" mud tire on my explorer , havent had a problem in 3 years, as long as he did it with a good amount of rubber cement it should be ok for a while

It will work, but its not recommended at all.

I hope you don't live anywhere near me!! IIRC, it is not only a bad idea but also illegal to plug a sidewall hole. Ever watch how the sidewalls work when you're wheeling.....they work hard!!

yeah, sidewalls are not meant to be plugged. I suggest getting a new tire asap!
