one of my iroks has a deep cut in it, not leaking but im afraid of what MIGHT happen. It is on the carcass itself, not on the sidewall or anything. it is about a foot long, but the only place that worries me is about 3-4 inches long. Ideas on safeguarding against this?

i would run it, i have ran them for years like that wondering how they were holding air

thats what I am leaning toward... cant seem to find any good ideas. hell if i have to I will put JB weld in there!! :) im not sure how deep into the tire it really is (how deep does it have to be to start leaking?) just want to take any precaution I can. These tires only have about 4 rides on them.

Why not run a big ol' patch inside?

Iroks are super tough, but if you're showing cords, a patch on the inside would make the carcass flex less there...and more likely to absolutely :nuke: in that spot? Just one :idea:


...that's what I'll do if one of my Iroks starts to show a weak spot....

think some places that will vulcanize sidewalls can work some magic on cuts like that

thats true vulcanizing works real well, dont know if a patch will hold well with low air press and going over rocks and alot of tire flex, jus my 2 cents although tha place i get my tires fixed they vulcanize it and put a patch on the inside

We've vulcanized 4 or 5 tires this year. All are good now.

A big rig tire place does them here.

We have vulcanized and have run with patches, havent had either fail. But I wouldnt do anything scrappy says, he's nuts.
