Repairing a hole in a tire sidewall
Got a hole in the sidewall of my rear tire. Sucks, because it's only got a couple hundred miles on it. I used to work at a tire store years ago, and due to liability issues (I believe), we could not repair any sidewall holes.
I have read on other atv forums that people have successfully patched or plugged their tires and have had them hold for many years, but when I think about the abuse I put to the rear tires, I just can't imagine a sidewall repair holding up.
Anybody with a DS650 that rides trails really hard used plugs or patches in a sidewall, and how long did it last?
Thanks.

I've plugged a handful of Holeshot and Razr sidewalls from punctures from desert terrain, rocks, shards, etc. They've all held up to the same abuse that caused the puncture to begin with. I've had a couple that took three or four plugs to stop the flow and they worked out. Definitely alot cheaper than a new tire.
