A lot of off road tires have lugs on the sidewall. If the tear was through the lug the patch wouldn't work.Was just thinking of spending hundreds on a spare wheel/tire for my KRX (and RZR too). Then I stumbled across this. Looks like it would work on a torn sidewall too. Thoughts?

Also adds ~60lbs of dead weight. 👎 and sucks up all your storage space. So much for cool IMO...That being said, the spare tire option does add a cool look factor...
LOL, never thought about it like that. Actually, that's a pinch flat. Caught a rock on the edge of the trail while going faster than I should have been going on that trail. Thank goodness for power steering or it would have ended up much worse than just a flat tire. Live and learn. Cost me a $170 atv tire. Guess Pitbull Rockers aren't as tough as they say...@BobX2 How the heck did you get a puncture like that?? Where you being shot at by Indians??
I have seen this work first hand on a buddies rig in Tacket creek https://sidewallslug.com/

while i have a spare back at the truck I usually do not take one on the trip. I have plugs, sidewall plug and a tube for worst case. With beadlock- sidle a pain you can always add a tube trailside to get you back if needed.
Pretty easy and common from all I've seen.Install a tube while on the trail??? I’d like to see that
I guess with beadlocks and a Milwaukee ratchet it wouldn't be to bad.Pretty easy and common from all I've seen.
The only way to do it.I guess with beadlocks and a Milwaukee ratchet it wouldn't be to bad.
Exactly, not going to be as easy as changing a spare but you save yourself the bulk and weight of carrying that spare. Granted I always try plugs and sidewall slug first. The tube being a last resort.I guess with beadlocks and a Milwaukee ratchet it wouldn't be to bad.
