My local cart shop does primarily cart upgrades for resale and always upgrades the tires and wheels. He has a building full of OEM take off tires/wheels for $10 each which is cheaper than Flex Seal. If you don't want new tires you might check with a local cart shop to see if they have some take offs that won't have dry rotted sidewalls. |

Re: Flex Seal on Tire Sidewalls?
Thanks I appreciate the replies.
The point to the flex seal is to visually improve the tires and to possibly stop new cracking. I am not expecting the flex seal to hold the tire together or stop leaks. The tires are 22-11-10 so they are kinda pricey so i would like to get a little more use out of them. I would imagine if its applied in a few light layers it will blend with the tire. It says that it can be used on rubber. Can't be sure till i try it out! |

Re: Flex Seal on Tire Sidewalls?
I have used flex seal to seal tires on a lightly used 1995 lawn mower by taking the tire off an spraying the inside of the tire. use a good amount tire will hold air for a couple of weeks. mower then can rest for the rest of the summer. will see if tire will air up this fall.

Re: Flex Seal on Tire Sidewalls?
Tubes are cheap and designed for this purpose. Theyll hold up just fine if you install them correctly. They make ATV tubes specifically for this purpose, Firestone has on for a 22" wheel that works great. They're about 20 bucks each.
I would highly recommend using a tube, which is designed for tires, over something like flex seal, which specifically.says on their website not to use it for tires. But... if they're not leaking I'd just leave it alone and not do anything to them. Run then like they are and just plan to buy tires sometime in the future, they're not THAT expensive if you shop around. But even if they're checking on the sidewalls you may still have a couple more years out of them before they start leaking from it. Hard to say for sure without seeing a picture how bad it actually is, but those cracks have to be pretty deep before theyll start to leak. |
