Got The Holeshot
Arm chair racerJust too addicted
I dont remember if it was here or over on 3w.org, but someone had bought some tires with a hole in the sidewall, and said that they had taken them to their local heavy tire distributor to have them fixed.
I've got some new-ish Holeshots that have weak sidewalls, and i want to know if that is something that they could fix for me. Both of the tires have tubes in them and i don't like it one bit.
Please hook me up with that info if you know what's going on.

What's wrong with tubes? I have them in 3 out of 4 tires on my quad and can't tell a difference.

first of again whats wrong with tubes? you see absolutely no preformance gain or decline with tubes,
anyways, there are a couple places i know localy that can glue in a heavy duty rubber patch on the sidewalls, neddless to say they will only do this to offroad tires, and fully recommend NOT using them for racing application. if i were yu just eiter stick with the tubes or just buy new tires,

Well i bought these holeshots and i got a GREAT deal on them price wise ... or so i thought I paid 120 for a set of 22/10/9 GNCC ITP Holeshots. Put them on a week later one was flat when i went out in the afternoon ... HMM put air in it and it held for about a day, took the tire off and in a spot there either was a bad mold or something because the tire had a really weak area in the tire where the sidewall meets the treaded area. So i tubed it. 2 or 3 months later, the same thing happened to the other tire.
I just dont like it because i'm afraid that 1) something will go in the tire because there is not a total seal and 2) when i ride the tire looks like its slipping around the rim.
