Hi!
I punctured my tire while riding Friday night.
It is on the sidewall.
The cost to replace the tire with the identical
Polaris tire is $150.
I was wondering if this could be repaired instead.
Not sure though.
Here is a photo of it.
Thoughts?

well i've plug both my pxt tires and my xtr's. i used a comb of 2 tire plugs w/ using tire slime on both tires and have had great sucess w/ them for many miles of hard running w/ no air leakage. you can also have the tire vucanized(i think it's called that) from the inside w/ a hot patch. maybe even run a tube if you had too. i wouldnt throw a good tire (lots of tread) away w/out tring something first.

It's good to hear that it worked for you.
I hate to throw away a brand new tire with no wear.
