just got a set of pro comp mud terrain tires went to get them mounted and 1 leaks outta the sidewall. anyway to get this fixed? or the guy suggested tubes? I need help!

 

If they're new, send it back !
Is it a cut, gash or a pin hole? Either way you won't fix a hole in the sidewall. You could, but it's not gonna last, and it'll just lead to a blow out down the road.

I worked in a shop for a while.. It's not safe as they say to repair an area on the tire outside the surface touching the road. Just leads to problems

 

What about getting tubes then?

 

For on road and highway use? They would over heat and blow on you.. and most radials if not all aren't designed for tubes if I'm not mistaken.

 

yup for road use.... thanks for the help this really sucks

 

I've ran with a tube in mine for 2 years

 

Well do you think I'm able to get tubes? And they will last?

 

I've had a few vehicles come in with tubes, but it's really rare. I guess you can do it as obviously it has been done and worked, but I do not recommend it.

If you have a leak in the sidewall you need to retire it or call pro-comp and see if they will work something out with you. Or see if the tire shop you bought them from has some kind of road hazard program.

And honestly you might just check for a recall. Michelin just had a recall on the M/S 2's where one of the molds was leaving pinhole leaks in the sidewall and we had about 120 of those bad boys sitting in our shop on a tent sale weekend and we couldn't sell them....

 

Well they are used tires

 

Uggh, that sucks. Unfortunately that's a chance you take with used tires I say just cut your losses and get 2 new ones and save the other good one as a spare.
