Blew out the conti sport contact today :(

Well, somehow the sidewall got a cut and it went totally flat.

Is this reparable, or will I need a new tire??

My tires have about 6 k miles the rears are 70 percent gone, the fronts were pretty thick. Since a front one blew, i dont know if replacing it with a new one is a good idea?

can i mix 2 different brands like 2 kumo backs and 2 conti fronts?

Or does anyone have a USED C7 conti tire??

Thanks!!

It's not repairable. You can't plug a hole on the sidewall, and it sounds like you have more than just a hole anyway.

If your other front tire is still good, you can probably get 1 new front. But it sounds like a good time to get 4 new ones, or at least 2.

too unsafe to repair a side wall! i dont even think you repair the bottom side of the tire if it torn such as your side wall is.

Buell im seriously considering those wheels from you. I will have a definately answer for you this weekend. I will most likely need them, as in the winter months the c7's dont cut it

If you want an original stock (non chrome) version, I have my set of 4 wheels and tires (about 1200 miles on the tires). The rims and tires are absolutly perfect. PM me for details.
