Let me know if you find someone. I've got two almost new 37" IROKS that need side wall repair. I looked around about a year ago. Was told it would have to go back to the factory for repair and cost about 3/4 of what a new one was worth.

try fountain tire on blackfoot as they have a retread plant. Have done this before, but note that no tire shop will probably mount after for you do to liability.  this will be up to you, so take precautions.

ive worked in my fair share f tire shops and none of them would do side wall repairs

ive have had 2 tires on my cars blow out the side wall on the high way and honestly its the only to flats i have ever had and besides alittle vib and slight pulling it wasnt anything that couldnt be controled and thats at 140 plus km a hour

as for a larger tire i can see it being a bit more of a issue due to larger side walls but ive driving home after every wheeling trip on 8lbs and never had a problem

the last trip i got mud in my valve stem in the rear passenger tire and by the time i got home it was emtpy and on the highway i didnt notice anything slower speeds i felt it .

so i dont know what the big deal is about side wall repair . maybe if its on a lifted diesel with a trailer behind it i can see more issues but with a jeep i dont think theres enough weight to the truck tocause the tire to just rip apart


maybe we can get mythbusters to get this all figured out

Had one done last year. I only use my rig for offroad and never drive it on  the street. For these repairs cases it's who you know.  Any type of tire that is a side wall vulacanized repair or any type of vulcanized repair should never be used on the street.

Kal-Tire's heavy equipment section might be able to help, I seem to remember them coming to site a bunch to fix the telehandler's tires.
