Leaking TSL

[khwrx]

like the title says i got a leaking tsl i bought from some and i didnt notice the chunk of bead that was missing. well i had it mounted and i will leak down to flat in a day. i checked from what i was told there is not tubes for a 36 tires out there that will work . other than beadlocks anyone got anyother ideas ?

If you are not wanting to get beadlocks, you can put a tube in it. Just get one for the wheel diameter and width. Natural Rubber tubes are a litle more expensive but last longer. The tube doesnt have to be for a 36" tire, it should work just fine.

I'm sure someone on here will chim in with a part number but yes their are tubes to fit 36's
I had a set that had the same problem.
Also another way to do a home repair is windshield urethane adhesive on the spot that is chunked out just make sure you grind down to fresh rubber and let it dry in a warm place for a couple days.
If its really bad you can glue the tire to the rim with it but you will have to heat it with a torch if you ever want to remove it.

try some tire slime, couldnt hurt, and it is cheaper than the tube.

Where can you buy window sealant ? That's stuffs a bitch to get off when swapping windshields should seal good

The tube mentioned linked in that thread worked fine for my 36" TSL

If it's on the bead, you might can get away with Bead Sealer. I put that on some crusty old rims I had and it sealed it up. of course if it's too large a chunk, not much is going to stop it.

That tube in the link I called my tire guy and he said the valve stem is like 6 inchs long . Is that true ?
