Trying to fix about 2" hole in rear tire tread. Anyone ever use one of those 8" patches from Tractor Supply? What are my other options?

Thanks! T.R.K.

An 8 inch boot would work fine on a 2 inch hole as long as you didn't put air in it and use it. Of course if you mount the tire and use it my guess is that it would continue tearing under the boot. I would like to know where to get a section repair done like that for $25. Anyplace I get them done would cost $75- $100 depending on the size of the tire.

The last one I had done was $25 for the sectioning but $75 to remove and replace if he does that himself then it will cost a lot less. But we get pretty good deals from Les Schwab out here in Oregon.

Consider yourself lucky that you live in a timewarp. 'Here' is much the same as tire guy's area. The tire goes out to somebody else for a repair like that. It's simply not cost effective on ag tires to do repairs on the tire due to transportation costs and time. Forestry and prime mover tires are fixed along with OTR tires. THe large ones because of cost and the truck tires because most have an inventory of spares to throw on while the bad one is repaired...
It's the very odd farm tire that's repaired here. Again, you're lucky to have a shop that still does that inhouse and cheap.

I don't do section repairs at my shop but would like to. I have to send it out now. It really isn't that tough of a process, just need the equipment and some supplies. Been looking for the stuff but haven't found any yet. Just having the ability to get the tire back going in a day rather than the week would be great.

I'd agree with the others that you'd probably want more blowout patch than an 8"... but that might do. Price that out and then determine what the tire is worth to you.
The last one I priced out at a tire shop was about a hundred bucks plus labor. Mabey they didn't want to do the job. I dunno. It was made quite clear to them that they wern't selling me any more Dyna-Slips either, so it wasn't for them wanting to sell new tires... I'd have been happy to patch the tire at the time if I could have had it done reasonably. In hindsight I'm glad I didn't. That was the kick I needed to buy a set of Michelin's, and I haven't regretted that one little bit.

That size you need more than an 8". You could probably get buy with an 8" covered with a 12" but if you could get a 15" it would be that much better. Most tire shops if they will boot a tire do not use a big enough boot and then it will not hold and then they will say " see I told you it will not hold" but if they would have used a proper size it would have worked. That 8" boot would only by itself be good for a 1" hole yet they would try to use a 4" or at most a 6"

I agree with Walt. I've had whole new lugs vulcanized onto tires and they held up well for years and years. You do have to find the right tires dealer to do the work. The nationwide discount chains would be clueless, but an tire dealer that's been in business a while would be a good bet. Good Luck,
Paul

Take it to your tire repair shop for about $25 they will fix it so that you never know it was damaged.
Walt PS you will spend more time an money trying to fix it yourself with out there expensive machinery.
