just get a new tire.....
why risk it?!
if you can't afford it..... then don't go wheeling..... i mean i know i'm coming off as being a jerk.... but i haven't wheeled in i can't remember how long, because i can't afford it.... sure i would love to splurge and just go wheel and not think about my bills, but that isn't reality.....
you need to keep yourself and others safe....
would a firefighter go into a burning building with a hole in his facemask?........
