tube it. thats what i did.
go to a tire shop and get a 9.00 x 13-14 natural rubber tube. well you would need to do both, but thats what i did and i think the car actually handled better. if you do tube it, coat the tube and inner tire with baby powder.

 

THANK YOU, IN A PANIC LIKE THAT YOU DONT ALWAYS THINK AS CLEARLY AS YOU NEED TO. DEFINATLY DIDNT THINK ABOUT THE INNER TUBE. I THINK WERE ARE SUPPOSED TO USE THEM ANYWAY.

 

patch it from the inside as well.

 

put a plug in it

 

None of those ideas are safe. Buy a new slick. Its not just you theres another guy in the other lane.

 

How is using a tube not safe?

How is a tube gonna keep the slick from coming apart when its already got a rip in it. Thats just how I feel.

 

hey steve, i recomended the tube as the same thing happened to me, and i talked to john from m and h, and thats wht he recomended to me.

 

I will definatly ask m&h and micky thompson to see what they suggest before we put it on a rim again.

john from m and h told me to tube mine, depending on the puncture.

mine was just like a thumbtack.

 

tubes have worked for me in the past prob free

A rip and a nail hole are two way different things!
