Can slow leak in a et street be patched? Title says it all. Noticed that one of my rear et streets on my 69 Big block 454 camaro has a leak in it as the air pressure went from 30lbs to 7 lbs in 1.5 months. Can an et street be patched and repaired or no? I would not take a patched et street down the 1/4 mile but if patchable i would use it on the streets.
Thanks!!!!
Thanks!!!!

I assume you are running the ET streets without tubes? If you have an extremely small hole, why not pull the tire and install a tube, rather than try to patch it.

Or it could be the tire is leaking at the bead, I've had that happen before. If you have a hole it would leak faster than that I think. One of my rear Hoosiers is a slow leaker and it's been like that since I mounted it and it's got 50 passes on it and they were used.
