Ive tried putting a rear tire on, in the shop. Youre NOT gonna handle that on the side of the road, YOu mite be able to break one down enough to get a tube out & swapped or patched, but, Im doubtin it,,A fresh rear tire will do highway speeds at almost zero pressure. They get squirelly down around 40 or so,Just hafta get help.. You can TRY Fix-A-Flat, but, it just doesnt work on tubes often, I used3 or4 cans getting home from Tyler to Longview, Id stop & fill up when I got into places I had to go slow enough it was handling badly,, I got home, stopped & the thing just barfed green slime & fix-a-flat out & the tire sagged down,,
Now,, heres what I did on a cheapo tube.. The tires on the generator take a $7.00 tube, & they dont last,I got a little unhappy that it let go right where the brass valve stem joins the rubber tube. I put Green Slime in, it just puked it out,, & Im really tired of buying those crappy tubes, so, I took a can of expanding foam, construction stuff, crack filler, tapered the tube to fit, threaded it in where the valve core goes & Pumped it UP.,.I jammed the valve core in & aired it u[ the rest of the way,, OHH,, Its still up,.,.Would I do that in a roadside event? Depends,, depends on how far it is to someone who can help,
