Default slashed tire

damn, I just bought some new rims for my car 17's with 205/40's and had them on for 3 f----- days, and some dumbdasses decided to slash a 4 tires. I'm so freakin pissed right now. I looked at the tires and noticed that the knife or object used went straight through the side wall, about an 1-1.5 inches wide. can this be patched or fixed. I sure hope so cuz I'm out of money to put new tires on.

Sorry for the bad luck, but I've heard that sidewall punctures cannot be patched due to the stress that goes through it.

Yup, they can't be patched. If you have full coverage, check with your insurance.
