I sold my TA last month but want The wheels back. He said that discount tire found a hole where air was coming out on the lip. But you can't see it from the outside, but from the inside you can notice it if you put it under water. Can JB weld fix something like this? Ideas?

Thanks

Yup JB will do it, my front driver wheel has the same problem lol
Leaks air SLOWly lol like a few wks when I notice it's getting flat.

Epoxy will work too.

Really? How long should you let it dry?
Any particular brand you recommend?

Just get the 2-part epoxy that you mix together and let it dry at least 24 hours.

Can I take the tire off, put the epoxy/JB weld on real quick. And then mount the tire back on all at the same time? As long as I don't drive on it? Or does it need to be exposed to air? Also, what process do you recommend? Any type of sanding etc?

If you inflate the tire the epoxy/JB weld will be exposed to air. I think it would be better leaving the tire off, it's possible the stuff could be disturbed when they mount the tire, then it won't seal the leak in the wheel.

just use the jb quick and let it sit for at least 15 minutes and you should be all set
