Can this tire be fixed...lol
So this is my brother-in-laws tire.
I guess this means he got a new wrench.

Re: Can this tire be fixed...lol
I have seen large boots done inside tires from big wounds such as that, but to be honest, I would not trust it for general road use.
For an emergency spare tire it might be okay to get it booted.

Re: Can this tire be fixed...lol
I went to the tire shop the other day to get my tires rotated and there is clear bucket with junk that they have removed from tires. I looked in there and was shocked to see a big pair of scissors!

Fill it with spray foam. Post a picture of the wrench when you pull it out. If its a 9/16 proto i think its mine, saw it fly out on the 8 in La Mesa.

Re: Can this tire be fixed...lol
The most amazing thing is that puppy is still holding air!
Sorry, that was probably my wrench. I've scattered 'em all over, and I've found a lot of 'em on the road including a 24" crescent wrench. |

Might be my wrench. Tell your brother I'm sorry, and he can keep the wrench as payment.

Re: Can this tire be fixed...lol
My brother had a slow leak in his tire once so he brought it over for me to check out I started laughing as soon as he got it out he had run over a valve stem and it was stuck between the tread. I showed him how he just had and extra spot to put air in. You could even depress the valve core and let air out. A wrench is a new one for me though
