    Hey guys so I have a brand new drive tire with a small slice on the side wall, maybe about half an inch wide. I really don’t wanna spend $400 on a new tire. does anyone have any advice on how or where to fix this? I’ve tried to patch it a couple times and it just hasn’t worked. Any advice would be appreciated, and if anybody knows a place in Pennsylvania/NJ that does That kind of service please let me know.

    If on sidewall I would say it is done for. Good luck on finding someone that will touch it.

    Doesn’t TA/Petro warranty the tires? If it blows they will replace it I think.

    Put on a new tire, and quit being cheap. Pretty ###### easy a blown tire costs 1K$ in damage, or k's in road service

    Service Tire Truck Center www.sttc.com has good service & good prices. Nobody will patch/plug a sidewall. For the reasons you’ve already found out, it won’t hold.

    Nobody warranties road hazards or trash wagons would all be sporting brand new virgin rubbers all the time lol

    Can't repair a sidewall. If its not legal to run you'll have to buy a new one.

    If its not deep I wouldn’t be concerned. 1/2 inch wide isn’t much. Our oilfield trucks had pretty good slices all the time and hauling heavy. We never had blowouts.

    Poop happens…… get a new one and move on. If you can’t afford a new one, your in the wrong business……..
