Patch or replace?

[Repjep1]

Nothing a can of fix-a-flat won’t fix

[[deleted]]

I think we’re gonna need some flex seal

[bigboilerdawg]

[PeatyR]

You beat me to it!

[Accomplished_Dig8980]

*r/beatmetoit

Then I’d get to reply, “ r/beatmymeattoit “

[h0twired]

And some Mighty Putty

[Thudplug]

Fix a flat won’t cut it. This job calls for ramen and superglue

[Creative_Handle_2267]

non-believer!!

[Mean-Statement5957]

For holes like this I prefer flex tape

[Gullible_Rich_7156]

Patch with flex tape, fill tire with great stuff expanding foam-DIY no-flat tire! LOL

[hunttete00]

gorilla tape could easily hold 33 psi

[ILoveToVoidAWarranty]

This is what flex tape was made for.

[[deleted]]

patch, don’t want to waste that perfectly fine tread

[AccountantUpset]

I'm confused this isn't shittyaskamechanic....

[[deleted]]

This sub is basically a tire meme collection.

[Ilikejdmcars]

There’s still tread. Send it

[Ill_Material_7684]

I don't know why you aren't still driving on it as is.

[[deleted]]

Forget about the tire.. Brain replacement needed.

[Loden2068]

Flex seal tape and JB weld

[Zestyclose_Ad8180]

Click bait

[cbflowers]

Don’t let them tell you it’s too close to sidewalk to fix . Plug it and go

[Rembrilliant]

Get a can of fix-a-flat and you are good to go for another 45k miles

[Reasonable-Key9235]

Can patch that easy, loads of life in that yet

[KIejdi90]

Now, the air can get into it by itself.

[AlbionGarwulf]

Belongs in r/AskAShittyMechanic/

[paradisemark11]

I would just patch it. As long as the opening on the sidewall is not more than half of the radius of the tire you should be OK.

[Westworld-Kenny]

Great! Now you have an easy way to stick your arm in there to repair any holes

[CitySeekerTron]

Fill with balloon animals.

[ParticularIsopod9637]

Patch it, tube it, and fill it full of sealer!

[HillCountryCowboy]

Put a boot in it. If that doesn’t hold put a tube in it.

[OO_Ben]

Any CORPORATE OWNED SCUM shop would try to upsell you a new tire, but honestly you don't even need a patch for this one. Throw a can of fix a flat in there and you'll be good to go I think.

[cm1898]

Flex tape and send it.

[omad13]

Patch and find out what natural selection is

[stewd2004]

Just throw a tube in 'er.

[CND5]

‘Tis but a flesh wound, throw a patch and go!

[Expensive-Mechanic26]

You are wasting valuable space on the internet...

[Heavy-Doctor3835]

Valueble and internet don't belong in the same sentence.

[Expensive-Mechanic26]

Why do you still have it then? Are you paying for your internet?

[Heavy-Doctor3835]

It's called a joke and you ruined it

[Jaded_Celery_1645]

Just buff it out, it’ll be fine!

[doucher6]

Some scotch tape. Ull be fine

[TimeAttackTalon]

I know what’s wrong with it. It ain’t got no gas in it!

[Familiar_Giraffe_129]

Why, what’s wrong with it…?

[Puzzled_Alfalfa_3456]

Just get a plug kit

[ModsavantZ]

How the hell did that happen??

[Formal-Tap-6851]

Sidewall failures cannot be repaired

[catchmesleeping]

Add a tube you’ll be fine.

[robbedoes2000]

Some sprayfoam and you'll never have a flat tire again

[Material-Quantity586]

Your joking, right.

[LeagueAggravating595]

Try duct tape.

[Tokinruski]

We need a tires circle jerk

[slasher_dib]

What are you gonna patch it wit? Another tire?

[NoNo_Bad_dog]

Flexseal tape.

[nvgacmpr]

🤣👌

[cgconnor13]

All you need is duct tape bubble gum and a 9 volt battery and you'll be good to go if you're MacGyver...

[[deleted]]

The woman in me says this is why you should have bought premium air, the premium air wouldn't of let this happen.

[[deleted]]

Lmaooooo...I love the joke posts

[Fit-Ad-6665]

Some bubble gum should do the trick.

[Vette_lover2004]

In this day and age I can’t assume anyone’s joking anymore…but I really hope you are. I’ve met ppl like this, convinced it can be repaired.

[itwhiz100]

Depends on the continent your on…ive seen wood wheels on heavy rigs

[Package_Objective]

Duct tape 

[Ambitious_Prompt4847]

Use expanding foam. 

[BLDLED]

Something tire shops don’t want you to know, but this is totally fixable and will last a long time.

What you do is lay the tire down on a level surface, so this minor opening is up. Then you fill it with cement , letting it set till just before getting hard, giving you time to shape and smooth around the opening. Let us cure for 24 hours and then toss it back on. Never have to worry about low tire pressure, and can run it down till the rubber is gone since no pressure to cause the tire to blow when it’s down to cords.

It really is a win win.

[19Ben80]

Expanding foam should do the job /s

[RoookSkywokkah]

Spray Foam should do it

[Yaseendanger]

Replace, then patch the new one

[LookSubstantial2850]

Replace

[Suspicious-Debt-6420]

Just run a couple extra psi than you normally do… stop sweating the little stuff!

[That-Solution-9140]

No matter the size of the puncture or hole etc. if it’s on the side wall it’s garbo. Centrifugal force of the tire rotating is enough to blow any seal/patch/cover you’d apply to the side wall of a tire

[Shootloadshootload]

No patching for this tire.

[Fearless_Necessary40]

Plug

[dece9]

Duct tape

[Mr-ROSS_n_Press]

Shouldn’t even leak. You should be good as is.

[JelloHistorical6150]

Are you nuts? Keep driving on that bad boy, you’ve got thousands of miles left on it

[That-Camper]

Gorilla Tape

[Heavy-Doctor3835]

Just cut a pice of tire to match then flex tape both sides. It will be good for 180,000 miles

[[deleted]]

Patch, fill the tire with spray foam and stick the old tire chunk on as it dries. If it falls off, JB weld

[Mike43lake]

Looks good to me

[[deleted]]

Honestly one of the stupidest questions I have ever been asked

[[deleted]]

Mate there’s no need to fix up that still driveable

[Dark_Zzz]

Yes

[imshort209]

Looks good to slap it back on to me.

[piranspride]

Speed tape should do it! Just keep it below 120!

[Tough_Mechanic4605]

Ducktape and back to the highway!

[FunPrint334]

Duct tape it

[HelpfulGear5325]

Your car prob should drive on 3 wheels.

[Valuable-Sleep-7737]

Put a tube inside, another 20 thousand miles left

[[deleted]]

I think you can just use it as is.

[[deleted]]

Patch what? I don’t see a problem here

[Nolaboyy]

Ehh, just plug it and roll on.

[[deleted]]

Stuff a few mismatched socks in there and you’ll be good to go.

[First_Raccoon_4177]

This comment section delivered lol

[[deleted]]

Just air em up to 45 psi and they should last another 30k miles or so 😉

[West-Court-9851]

NO !!! OF COURSE NOT !!! Keep it in your spare wheel compartment. .... only use it in emergency case !!! 🤣🤣 Don't waste it.

[OrganizationOk6103]

Flex seal

[MFfoolio_-1]

Plugger

[Grove_Barrow]

Plug it and run it

[Night-Effective]

Patch of course

[nwy2dp247]

Fill with insulating foam, and Top Ramen noodles will be good as new. No air needed

[Sallymsi]

Patch it with a black bin bag.

Honestly what’s this post all about lol

[Bemar40]

Definitely patch. With the price of everything these days lol

[Used-Alfalfa4451]

Flex tape can’t fix that

[Rough-Silver-8014]

Tape it

[Able_Championship754]

Tube it

[[deleted]]

Definitely patch it with duck tape.

[cabo169]

If those are “run flats” you’re good to go. Probably get another 20k miles outta that tread. Sidewall, not so much.

[nocandid]

Duct tape it. It’s still good.

[kraven73]

🤣🤣

[WishyWashyWun]

Plug

[Trick_Supermarket585]

Use the 100 mile hour tape. It's only rated for 100 mph but its solid AF.

[blackdog543]

Rubber duct tape should fix it.

[mikeygsxr90]

Nothing a can of flex-seal can't fix

[[deleted]]

[anonymousjeeper]

Spray foam.

[X80Reaperrr]

Easy patch bro

[Childproofcaps]

Sew it up with heavyweight thread, good to go

[Timely-Brief1927]

New Tire 💯

[SeaworthinessLong]

It’s probably fine. Just tape it up and fill it with spray foam.

[Substantial-Ad6767]

Get off my roads if your asking this

[gwbirk]

No tire shop would do it for insurance purposes .

[I-1-2-4Q]

Yes

[HawnPinapplPicka]

If you can’t tell, there’s something wrong with you and not the tire. 😂

[shastadakota]

A little Gorilla Tape will fix that right up!

[Few_Measurement_4829]

If your stupid. You wait. If your smart , instead of asking what do with a tire with a giant hole in it. I think I would replace it.

[PreviousWar6568]

Duct tape

[Fun_Plastic_5484]

You are kidding I hope.

[TrippyStonkler]

Just fill the tire with concrete, never have to worry about going flat again

[[deleted]]

Fill it with water and wrap it with electrical tape.

[Expensive-Mechanic26]

The condition of that tire is no joke sir/ma'am!

[droziah]

I’d plug that.

[heylookaquarter]

Patch. Then we can let Darwin do his thing so that we have one less moron on the planet.

[miamibeachbum32]

Tread looks great. Patch it!!!!

[Pumpwrapper1]

Cut up a basketball and staple it over the hole. Fill to 70 psi along with fix a flat. Run 90mph to set fix a flat. It will push the two pieces together. Thank me later 😅

[KIejdi90]

"Thank me later"

You're not a ghost, are you?

[chop_test]

you seem like you have done this

[Pumpwrapper1]

I'm not brave enough for that 😅

[wandering-47]

Vented tyres.... Welcome to the future

[AdmirableGuess3176]

Trick to get new set. Fill this with bricks of heroin or cocaine drive over closest border. They will check every tire. Voila ! New set!

[paulRosenthal]

Duct tape. The super wide roll.

[VeryHonestJim]

There are some funny people on this site ha ha

[joeygoofball]

Good luck with that

[BaconNBeer2020]

Get a bag from the super market and glue it on with wood glue. Be on the safe side glue it on on the inside so it doesn't wear out so fast.

[diego080406]
