Unsafe with these new radials.

I already got rid of the tire. Have cameras going up focused on the trucks and when he does it again, I will go to court. I already have the X10.com cameras and they work great.

They might be covered by a road hazard warranty. It is worth a try, and I have done it many years ago whaen it happened to me. By the way...what did you do to your neighbor? aeohio • View posts New Mexico Full Member Joined: 09/20/2007 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 11/03/09 08:02pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Yeah curious to know why you think its the neighbor. 2010 Passport UL 290BH 2006 Ford Expedition Limited smkettner • View posts Southern California Senior Member Joined: 03/21/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Posted: 11/03/09 08:28pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I have tubed plenty of tubeless tires with no issues. Although I would not fix a sidewall slice with a tube. You need a new tire. 2001 F150 SuperCrew 2006 Keystone Springdale 249FWBHLS StanleyandIris • View posts Louisiana Senior Member Joined: 06/17/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 11/03/09 09:08pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I am so sorry that happened to you. It really stinks. Report the vandalism to the police, make the report. You don't know, they may have other victims of this vandal. Call your insurance company and make a claim. Your homeowners may also cover vandalism on your property. If you think it is really a neighbor tell the police why - there must be some reason for your suspicion. Let the police figure it out. But let them know what happened. Don't wait until he/she does something else. And take the tires to the tire dump site. Your life is too important to drive around on questionable tires and so are ours. May you be blessed with good neighbors.

They even make a specially constructed tube for radial tires to better handle the heat generated by the flexing sidewalls. Currently have a tube in one of the tires on my Neon. Bad magnesium wheel casting that leaks air to the tune of 5 lbs per week. Putting the tube in was far cheaper than replacing the custom wheel... All of the tubeless tires on my John Deere have tubes in them...keeps the ballast liquid from rusting the steel wheels. However, I have to agree that in this particular case a patch and tube would not be the solution for a longish slit from a knife into the sidewall of the tire; particularly with the assumption that it is a radial tire.

We had a girl's car that came in on a flatbed with 4 sliced tires (ex-BF.) We replaced them under the road hazard warranty. "A bad day of camping is better than a good day at work."
