Duct tape for auto repair

[Cosmic Janitor]

Probably more than is required to make a serious buldge on your wheel, making driving a pain and pretty much unsafe..

Huh, I thought the sidewall was an engine thing.

i have used duct tape before to repair a tire, it has to be used on the INSIDE of the tire, and the hole cannot really be more than about 1/2 inch max. i used a 4-ply piece (4 piece layered on top of each other, places that on a quarter (yes, 25 cents) over the hole. I then used 4 4-inch strips (2 side-by-side going up/down, and 2 going left-right) over top of the "patch" (i used alcohol pads to clean the areas of the inside of tire that the tape would touch) the whole process took 2 hrs - i then used that to drive down the mountain i was stuck on and straight to a gas station where they used a proper patch on it to get me home....i dont recommend doing this as i was entirely nervous the whole time and it affected my driving. TL/DR - get a new tire unless its a total emergency

If the rim is in good shape, get rid of the tire and drive on the rim.

Duct tape is the handyman's secret weapon.

The answer is none. Once the sidewall is damaged the tire is junk. There's a lot of things duct tape can fix, but a tire isn't one of them.

Less time wanking to Lindsey Sterling and more time googling answers:

One requires this much duct tape:

Hey guys, how do I fix my computer?
It has a floppy drive.

Give it Viagra, of course!
