Leaky tire

[deadeyejedi]

I have a yanmar sa 424 with a slow leak in the front tire . I’m loosing some air at the bead and a tiny hole in the sidewall . The tire shop say they can’t fix it . What are my options here fix a flat? New tire? New wheel and tire ?

Tire sealant? Except Slime, in my experience it doesn't work all that well. I've had good luck with TireJect. Whatever brand you might go with, be sure to pick the type made for equipment tires rather than highway vehicle tires.

I went to the tire store that services all the local tractor and industrial equipment and asked them what kind of goo they recommended...It worked. No, I don't remember the brand, only that it was in a pressure container that screwed onto the valve of the flat tire, required rotating the tire for half an hour right afterwards, it worked, and cost was rather high....maybe $25?

Tire shop probably won't fix due to a policy of not doing sidewall patches for road vehicles, which myopically extends to off-road, despite there being no reason not to. I would mark the sidewall leak, patch the inside and clean the beads (tire and rim) good and look for gouges or other possible leak sources. If there is a cut or gouge in one of the beads, a dab of bead sealer or rtv just prior to seating it should fix it. Putting a tube in would also be an option.
