Sidewall Puncture - Can it be fixed?

[Gatorboy]

Hell yeah she was. Insurance bought me a brand new set of tires, I had to pay $5 after my deductible. BFG's I had at the time were almost bald. Dude did me a favor ha.

Heck yeah! You ended up better than my buddy did. His ex keyed "F@G" into his driver's side door, down to the sheet metal, and right after he had just painted his truck!

Those were 35x12.50x18's too, they weren't cheap! I had been saving up about $1800 at the time to get new ones, and then boom, $5! ha

Every time I've had to deal with vandalism on a vehicle the root cause has always been pu**y.

Thanks guys, I won't push the safety issue. I'll take it to a reputable tire shop and see what they say (I think I know the answer). I have the money for a new tire, I'd rather spend the money on other things though.

Definetly not vandalisim. It was punctured on the inboard side of the tire. I don't remember hitting anything, but I see a bit of scuff around the hole. Still sad.

Do not try to repair it! If you find a shop who thinks it is a good idea, stay as far away from that shop as you possibly can.
