Tires: tire repair question, Tire Repair
QuestionI have brand new 20 inch tires that I stupidly did not put road hazard on. I hit something in the road that put a very small crack in the sidewall. It now has a slow leak and I'm trying to avoid buying another on right now. Is there something I could use to stop the leak without throughing it out of balance?
AnswerDee,
The only area of a passenger car tires that is repairable is the tread area, not including the outermost ribs.
The sidewall is specifically not included.
Sorry, but you're going to have to buy a new tire. Since you know the tire is leaking, for safety's sake, do not delay this. Do this NOW!!!
