| i have a tire for my little dune cat go cart, the tread is good but the sidewall has some cracks in it that are leaking, a new tire is 40 bucks, more than i want to spend, i am wondering can i put a tube in it? a tube is like 20 bucks and fits my budget way better |

| If you can't afford the right tire for your vehicle, you can't afford to drive it. Seriously, why are you even asking this question??? Have you tried duct tape??? Lordy. :roll: |

| you can put the $20 tube in the bad tire but is the bad tire not going to fail before long anyways and take the $20 tube with it ? plus you will buy the new $40 tire in the end total cost $60. but if $20 is all you have then thats all you have. kinda of a pay me now or pay me more later kinda deal... |

| The cracks are more than likely dry rot and WILL fail and take the tube with it. SAVE UP! |

| just spend the extra 20 to get it done right, maybe what you are saying would be worth it if the new tires were like $120 or something. |

Run it like it is and air up as needed, try the spray in tire stop leak if ya don't mind dealing w/ the mess when you replace/fix it for real, or stick a tube in. Although I agree, if the tire comes apart you'll be out the $20 tube and still need to spend another $40 on a tire.
What size is it? $40 seems high for a go-cart tire.

No doubt. But it ain't like he's gonna have a blowout at 90mph on the 405 or anything if he puts a tube in one of the tires. |

Tube it! If the side wall gives up, maybe you'll have a neat looking bubble of tube sticking out for a while before that blows up too.
And if you catch it in time, you may be able to save the tube. |
