[QUOTE="oldbeercans, post: 1138107, member: 17361"] i sliced my 37" irock a few months back, 3" long and all the way through. i really didnt want to buy a new one and since i bought them through work, i dont get a road hazzard. they dont cover off road damage anyways. now this is a little back woods but if it works who cares. so i went to a fishing and tackle shop and bought some braided 50lb test line and went to work. all my bosses laughed at at me and said it would never work. i tried anyways, figured it was worth tryin to save a few hundred bucks. they told me they might be able to send it out for a section repair, but then decided i should buy a new tire. i used a grader patch on the inside and cross stitched the tire back together on the out side with a normal sewing needle feeding it through with a pair of pliars. to this day it still holds 50 lbs of air. my managers were a little pissed because they didnt get to sell me a new tire, but ****'em. whos laughing now....i wouldnt nessesarily reccomend running it down the freeway but at 35 miles an hour and as a spare it will work great. unfortunitly schwab still frowns apon this and it is still talked about as a joke at the monroe store. the slice didnt bulge at all.
