Once the sidewall integrity is gone you need a new tire. Else tube it and go on. At least with a lawn mower you aren't risking your life due to a sudden catastrophic tire failure, but that's what I'd do. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list

I have used a ratchet tie-down strap around a new tire to get it to inflate. Still a PITA. If it didn't have the crack I'd say you could try Slime, I've had some success with that on small tractor tires, but that won't fix a sidewall crack. On Tue, May 31, 2022, at 8:59 PM, Kaleb Striplin
