walked out this morning, and saw one flat tire. took it off this afternoon after work, and noticed a slice about an inch long on the inside. sharp rock damage i think. anyone know if you can still put a tube in a radial tire? these are bf goodrich trail t/a's, and almost like new. hate to scrap the tire for that. any suggestions?

try plugging it. I know it's the side wall, but i have plugged side walls before and got them to hold.
At least, you'll have a spare!

Don't use plugs, use patches. I patched mine using some 2 ply patches, do a search on repairing a sidewall, I posted the magic formula awhile ago.
