If you can get the black CA that works the best.

I think Goop would work really well too. Its soft and flexible when dries but its hold is incredibly tenacious. It would be all the better if you could put in on the inside. It comes in black too - well, at least the Automotive Goop does. Just curious how you got a number of pin holes in your Panthers (Cougars, I presume)? |

Honestly i couldnt tell you.... i was just crawling on some shockcrete and then i noticed that my tire had let all the air out and then the tire became all deformed... i then checked the beadlocks to see if one had come loose and i found 2 little needle sized pin holes in the side wall... and yes they are cougars and another question: what is CA or black CA??? and where would you get some??? |

I got a couple small holes in the side of one of mine too. I am surprised it didnt happen sooner. The tires wrinkle up so easy and one place we have been playing is just a huge pile of concret and there is little metal rods sticking out of a lot of it. No biggie I already had holes drilled in the wheels anyways.

As for the holes in the tire, unlesss you're worried about them growing bigger, you don't really need to "patch" them if you're putting holes in the rims. I'm running Cougars with the stock memory foam and, with the holes in the rim, they will start to flatten under the weight of the rig at rest. CA is the acronym for Cyanoacrylate - or super /crazy glue. Can be bought anywhere. | |

I would use shoe goo on the inside and if you can try to push some thru the holes to help mend the hole itself...just my 2 cents
