ghott Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Sand track this past weekend had a gravel/shale return lane and I ended up with a nice leak in one of my smooth buff 18.5" front tires. I found a small pin hole on the top of the tread this evening thanks to some soapy water. I did some searching but couldn't find much info...wondering if its ok to try and patch/plug this - or should I go ahead and get a new tire?

mailman Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I have had luck putting a patch on the inside. I got the patch from Napa and the vulcanizing glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I plugged a 2ply AMS sand front tire. Did it at the dunes as a last ditch attempt to keep riding for the weekend without buying a pair of tires there. It's held air for 2 years now, very surprised at that.

ghott Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks for the input. Will try and either get a small shop to patch it or just patch it from the inside myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
