Can this tire be fixed or should I just get a new one?

The sidewall of my tire looks pretty messed up. Any chance it can be saved, or am I looking at buying a new one?

I was totally about to say ‘just use flex tape,’ but that gif beat me to it! Have I ever had an original thought?

Honestly, same here! It’s like we’re all just waiting to say the same thing :joy:

Phil Swift would ask if you took a chunk out of your tire for fun…

I was thinking the same thing. :joy:

Looks like it’s just shedding its old self. A ‘new’ tire might be right under there… :joy:

Better hide it before an eagle swoops down thinking it’s easy prey!

Duct tape should do the trick

Throw in some WD-40 too, just to be safe :laughing:

Can never go wrong with more duct tape, right?

Maybe just needs a little air?

Spray foam and call it a day!

Flex seal. Trust me, it works on everything.

Flex seal saves the day once again!

Just stick a tube in there; it’ll hold up fine.

Just buff it out.
