<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Verne_Frantz</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> After the auction I decided to send the buyer some close photos of the torn places on the bead from when they were de-mounted. I wanted to make sure he saw the worst of the worst before he sent his $$. He declined to buy them. Maybe he had second thoughts for other reasons???? Anyway, I'm convinced that with careful mounting with tubes there should be no problem. That's why I've decided to put them on wheels and do the mounting myself, and make sure they hold air and have no problems at all before selling them.

Fill the torn area with Rema Tire putty and grind/buff smooth. It is a two part vulcaninzing process and is incredibly tuff. Industrial supply houses sell it as well as farm equipment dealers.

I had a 4&quot; long cut/gouge on my farm tractor tire that was 3&quot; deep and it fixed it right up. Tractor is 6000 lbs and does plowing/brush hogging and snow plowing and it is still in place 4 years later.
