Depending on the size of the hole, I've used super glue to seal up a hole that was just large enough for the sealant not to work. It's not going to fix a major hole or sidewall cut, and I doubt it would hold on the tread, but I've fixed up several tubeless tires with super glue.

I recently purchased new Kenda Small Block tires that I'm running Stan's in. After a DNF at Echo I learned that one of the tires has a hole in the sidewall close to the rim. Seems the Stan's can seal this hole when the tire is sitting, but when riding the sidewall flexes and the sealant fails. The sealant doesn't seem to be able to reseal the hole when rotating.

Does anyone have any tricks for this problem? Another type of sealant? The place I purchased the tire will not exchange it for a new one.

Thanks,
Mike
