If you have any doubts, patch it and put it on as a spare and buy a new one to replace it.



PS
I'd ditch the 20" Bling rims and tires and get some real tires. Maybe someone would trade you or you could find some dealer take-off rims

thanks Dan,
appreciate your fast reply..

OK, I'll call my Hummer dealer (who is also the only Vogue-Tyre authorized dealer in the area), and take it there to have them properly fix it or replace it.

I agree with you about the "real tires"; my wife got angry while ago when I mentioned my idea of replacing this fancy looking rims and tires, but now I'll have the real reason (safety! - she should hopefully understand that) to get a good terrain rim/tire set. So, what should I look for? I see that lots of folks around here mount variety of BFG tires and 16" or 18" rims. I'd welcome suggestion. Oh, I have standard H3, no adv package if it matters. I'd gladly buy the largest and most rugged tires I can fit without modding anyting. While I didn't go off road yet, I plan to do so - here in Palm Springs area, desert sand and rock looks like what we have mostly around here.
