Tyre = $200.00, lawsuit due to gross negligence........priceless. Dump the tyre, fix the fender, get a new tyre and have fun without worries. I truly hope the post was a jest

I looked for an original April post date and thought the same. I hope you were joking. Now if the steel belt was showing you could bond fix-a-flat to it and use for maybe two events.

4/1 was so last month. Don't listen to these guys that tire is OK to use. Just watch the tire blowout video 10 times in a row and what you can use it for will come to you.
