Title: Sewing Tire Sidewall?
Post by: buddman (AKA Mick) on February 03, 2012, 12:47:49 PM
So I am going to try to stitch the cut sidewall on one of my 38's. Obviously this is for the bogger. Question is what type of thread or string to use? I got some 65 lbs test spyder wire fishing line, or does anyone know a better thing to use?? Also need a big azz patch to cover it,  wondered where to get one of those to. Alresdy have a good tube to put in. Any sugestions be great guys. Thanks

I recommend finding a tire dealer that deals with ag tires. They have boot patches that have cords in the patch it self. But when u patch it make sure u put the talc powder on the area of the patch so the tube doesn't glue it self to the tire.

ive used high test fishing line to sew a drag slick side wall, 3 inch gash and it worked fine with a loader patch and tube. just make sure like said before to use talcom powder
