Last night, i caught a shard of metal in my BRAND NEW MT et streets, going DOWN THE TRACK!![:@]...by the time i got back to the staging lanes, it was flat as could be. It took 2 cans of fix-a-flat to get the car back home....is there any way i can patch the tire or am i f*cked......BRAND NEW TIRES....FIRST RUN DOWN THE STRIP AGHHHH[:@][:@][:@]

 

that sucks i just found out i need front brake pads.

 

where's the tubes!???....you are screwed

 

That really blows. (Sorry bad pun) I guess it would depend on how big the gash is. I really don't know if it can be fixed since it's a drag tire and most places migth be worried about liability. I for one would be worried it would let go during a run. Also sucks because those tires don't have warranties. [:@] Sorry about the tire. All I can say is it could have been way worse. You could have ended up in the wall.

 

If its not a big hole and its not in your side wall, got to wal-mart and buy a patch kit and fix it yourseld its really easy. Good Luck

 

its right smack in the middle of the tread side of the tire, the hole looks like someone drove a roofing nail through it and the the rubber partially sealed it up, i mean it was small enough for fix-a-flat to seal it and not leak after a 20 mile drive home

 

M/T recommends tubes with E.T. Streets (not E.T. Radials)

If the cut is not too bad, get the tubes and you're back in business. Jegs has the tubes.

 

If its like a nail whole then your golden to patch. I have put probly 15 patches in my buddys beater jeep, almost all were from nails. They have all held to.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking, but i just want to make sure that the patch doesnt let go at 100 mph on the dragstrip.....maybe i should go with the tube + patch to be on the safe side? i really dont want to spend another 200 bucks on a new MT tire when these have only 1 pass down the 1/8th on them.

 

Yeah better to be safe then sorry. Good Luck
