That is a seriously bad idea -- especially on a Z-rated tire. Since there are some people here who think you have knowledgeable advice, for whatever reason, it is irresponsible to recommend this. Do you wish to see misfortune fall upon Mr. Haboob? Is it some sort of vendetta or blood feud that drives you to this reckless advice?

I drove over a chunk of glass Sunday and it put a slice in my tire -- maybe about 3/8 - 1/2 " and right in the center (centre) of the tread. There is no way I am patching it and putting back on the car for daily purposes. I bought a new one from Tire Rack and will keep the damaged one as a spare. By the way, I have only 510 miles on the stockers -- if I had many more miles, I would have replaced both sides.
