    I would try puttin a patch on the inside but I don't know that's a pretty big hole! I've seen those tires in denniskirk for $119 a piece. That is outragous!

    O my

    Theres no fixin that huge hole. If you do patch it, it could give out on you at the most inopprutune time and make you Crash.

    I guess that can happen with any tire if you hit something just right. I run the shredders, they are cheaper. Ever been in a car tire shop and on the counter they have all kinds of wierd chunks of tires with odd foriegn matter lodged in them? I see that stuff and say to myself "how the heck??" but it happens.

    a cheap fast way is to put patch from inside and a tube. i'd just buy another tire if money is not a problem.

    dude, just go to the tire shop, and have them get you the biggest patches they can get....sand the crap out of the inside around the hole and clean it off with alcohol and put glue on it and patch it up, idk if i would use 2 or not, but you could try it, i dont think one of those plugs would work, so i think the patch is the only way to go, if you want to save yur nice razr2's its owrth a try....

    Get a new tire, you will hassel with this one for more than its worth, sure you may be able to fix it, but you will have a weakend sidewall, reliability are you sure you could totaly trust it, and how safe is it, doin 60 mph would you want it to blow out on you and not know the outcome, this could potential be a fatal deciscion if you are going to fix it, just spend a little extra cash and ger r done the right way.
