Default Re: Flat tire

I used camper tape on my Euclid front rims and it worked well. The tires hold up the truck and a 6lbs lead acid battery. I put plastic rap on the rim and rapped the camper tape around until it was the right size and then slid it off and crammed it into the tire. The tricky part is getting the tire streched over the tape but once it's in there you slip the rim back in and you're good to go! There is probably better ways but this was cheap, almost instant and seems to work.

It's just weather striping on steriods. It comes in various widths and thicknesses. People use it between truck bed rails and canopies ect. It has adheasive on one side. You can find it at an automotive or a hardware store.
