So I had some trail damage to my stock BFGs. Only like 7000 miles on them, (1 flat via sidewall puncture) and the other 3 have some rubber tears in the sidewall. Still holds air and I drove on them for 2 weeks after.

Can I send the 3 somewhere to get fixxed? The one that's flat I will trash.

The only "repair" I'd ever do to a tire is a small plug on the tread minimal of 1.5" from sidewall. Anything else and your asking for trouble. Your tires are the only thing keeping your jeep rolling. I wouldn't risk a blow out on the highway vs the cost of buying some new tires. Not to mention plugs/patches to sidewalls and run flat tires are against the law in some areas.

Let me clarify, there's no puncture on the 3. I just upgraded to 35s.

it's just a little bit of rubber that peels back on the sidewall.

Mainly I want to keep them as spares incase I need to take the 35s off.

I've had a good side wall gash that a buddy with a tire machine patched over using 3 2 inch round patches. Worked fine for two yrs! however, due to liability and the danger of blowout etc, no tire shop will fix any sidewall punctures/cuts . Have to find someone off grid.

Structurally it will never be as strong. I would replace it. You can probably picked up a used one fairly cheaply

Get the load range e by nito heavy sidewalls. Crwood

I strongly agree.

Most people or tire shops won't touch the side walls. Too much flexing going on. When the sidewall fails, the fail big. Hate to say it, but play it safe and replace them.
