Vulcanizing a sidewall

[skyhighZJ]

I’m sure it’s been discussed but what’s my options? Hot/cold/new technology? Slash isn’t too bad and closer to the tread. Irok. Bias Ply. Off road only. Anybody know someone around the Aberdeen, Sanford, fayettenam area?

Few years ago I tried to find a shop to vulcanize a sidewall tear and was turned away by all of the shops I got in touch with. They won't do it.

Gotta go with something like this:

Vulcanizing Compound

I had a 33" Bogger vulcanized by a shop in Mt.Airy(?) several years ago, but had to use the story that it was for "Farm use"... zero issues since

In Charlotte there are Latino run, used tire places that would do it for cash I'd bet. Maybe check on a few if you see one in your area.
If we were swapping used tires on the XJ I would go there and pay a guy $100 to unmount and remount/balance 5 tires on wheels.

Similar experience. Could never find somebody willing to patch it.

Option B - buy a tube.

Had the same experience with my Bighorns. Had it vulcanized at a local tire shop and had no problems.

This is what you need. I patched a thumb size hole in side wall, wheel it and been good for 2 years now.
