A couple of weeks ago, I was using the H and noticed that I had gouged about a 2 inch tear in the sidewall of one of my rear tires. I used the tractor for mowing Saturday and saw that the inner tube was actually coming through the rip. Anyone know of a way to repair this type of injury? The tire has a lot of tread left and is in decent shape except for the rip. Any help appreciated.

Thanks to everyone for the info. I think I am going to try a boot. Might as well give it a shot before buying a tire. I ordered a 5 x 5 boot from Gempler's. Thanks for the link, Gempler's looks like a nice site.

The boot is worth a try but personaly I would go with something much larger than 5 x 5. Have seen tires with cuts in tread 4 or 5 inches long run for years sidewalls do not do as well though.

Gemplers sells reliners and spot reliners that should do the trick. Sidewalls are tougher to fix due to the flexing they do. You might want to air up just a bit more to reduce flex and minimize the weight carried on the rear.

If you don`t do alot of hard pulling - put a boot in and forget it. If you need traction to pull a plow, disc, etc. - get a new tire.

they can repair them, just look over the tire and see if its a good idea, prob be at least $150 if you have them do everything. We decided on a new tire since our tire was cracking and what not, ended up being $450 though... They also have some foam stuff they can fill the tire with which solidifies. I never got a clear price on that, but supposedly it rides like air. Of course, with that you can punch holes in your tire just for fun :) -Greg

Had a tire with a nasty gouge in the sidewall - took it to a tire dealer who recaps truck tires amongst other things. He removed the tire, put a boot inside, and revulcanized the gouge outside. I have to look carefully to find where he fixed the tire. Has held up well, cost me $68, far less than a new tire!

I'd say a 2 inch tear could be repaired with a boot. Buy the thickest boot you can find and enough bigger than the tear to give it some support. I have even doubled them up in some cases. the patch won't bee cheap and you will have to demount the tire to do it but if the tire is sound otherwise it is worth a try.

I've been told in the past that you can't repair a sidewall, other parts of the tire usually can be fixed with a patch, but about 9 years ago i had to buy a new 12.4-38 tire because of a slash in my sidewall (and it still had lots of tread left) Some days are just unlucky i guess! ---Jeff
