repairing sidewall to keep as spare
i sliced my sidewall with trail riding at my families cabin in everett pa. the slice is about 2" long, and the hole through the side wall is small, my house key doesnt even fit through the hole. i was just wondering if a tire shop might be able to repair it so i can kep it as a trail spare. also how much would a repair like that be and where would the best place to go

Junk it. Most tire shops will not repair a sidewall that has been cut. It is possible to boot a sidewall, but that is rarely done these days.

I found a used tire for a spare on the cheap.

Paintball, weren't you selling your truck? Or did I imagine that?
