GlueTread's Full-size sidewall Repair kit
Optimized for Full-Size and 4x4 Vehicles
When you leave pavement, you accept that tire damage is part of the game.
What you don’t have to accept is being stranded because of it.
The GlueTread Sidewall Repair Kit is an industry-tested, American-made solution designed specifically to repair sidewall damage in off-road environments. While most repair kits only address tread punctures, this system was engineered to solve one of the most common trip-ending failures: cuts and tears in the sidewall.
This kit contains enough material to repair 4–6 tires, giving you the ability to not only get yourself out, but also help the people you ride with.
Because when you’re miles from pavement, self-reliance matters.

SIDEWALL REPAIR
A puncture in the tread is inconvenient.
A cut in the sidewall can leave you stranded.
Sidewalls flex constantly. They aren’t reinforced like the tread area, and when they’re sliced by sharp rock, metal, or debris, most people assume the tire is done.
That’s exactly why we built this system.
The GlueTread sidewall repair is designed to be completed without removing the tire from the wheel.
- Locate and inspect the damage. Ensure it’s small and repairable.
- Prepare the surface. Clean and buff the damaged area to promote a strong bond.
- Apply adhesive and patch. The heavy-duty rubber patch is bonded directly over the damaged section.
- Allow it to cure. Once set, the repair reinforces the weakened area and helps prevent the tear from spreading.
The result is a strong, flexible repair that allows you to safely get off the trail.

Highly Recommend Tread Glue!
This kit saved my off-roading trip this weekend! Within the first hour of our trip, I got a large sidewall puncture. I was able to make trailside repair with this kit and even was able to continue to offroad for the rest of the trip on the same tire! Will be buying more in the future!
Do we all remember our first flat? Haha I know I do! I was 17 at the time on a muzzleloader hunt in Current Creek Utah. My TJ had 35” wranglers on it and man that Jeep was my pride and joy! While creeping around on a dirt trail in the woods to get to my favorite hiking spot I heard a sudden “ppfffff” and my front driver side went down. I got out and saw a chunk of root from a tree that had punctured my side wall! Oh man. Those tires were a huge investment to me at the time- over $1,000 on a lifeguard pay check was a big deal! I had to use my spare and prayed that I’d make it back without another freak puncture. If I had this product I’d have used it and ran it without worrying about being out a spare! I’m so excited to have this kit on board now. See my photo- At EJS 2025 this was set up at a booth. In the photo I circled in red a patch that the rep said has 10,000 miles on it! Crazy!! The one above it was installed that day. He does say that these are marketed to just get you off the trail. Obviously if you drive with a sidewall fix that’s considered unsafe if not illegal in various jurisdictions. That said, man what a product!!! The rubber seems to bond and become one solid piece- don’t ask me how that works I just think it’s cool! Buy this if not for yourself for someone else whose day you’ll save out on the trail!
These are miracle patches. They are made for tread/tires but we used it on our cracked rim and it held amazingly. Do recommended wearing gloves when handling the glue.
The media could not be loaded.
I got a sidewall puncture on the trail and didn't have this kit. I switched to my spare (which was a pain) and came home and ordered this kit, so that's why you see me installing it in my garage.Firstly, it's packaged very nice. There's plenty of adhesive and sandpaper and enough for 4 patch jobs. It's small and the packaging keeps everything nice and protected from the elements even if it's kicking around in the back of your dirty jeep or truck.The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. There was an extra reminder card reminding you that you should not use a ton of glue, there's a dot matrix you should apply to ensure a good bond. The sandpaper made cleaning the area on the tire easy, even deeply embedded dirt was cleared away relatively quickly with the low grit sandpaper leaving a fresh black rubber surface to bond to.The patches were easy to cut with a razor blade to shape the patch to fit the area. I tapered the edges so they wouldn't catch, in retrospect I left a point on one end of my patch but the instructions did inform me to round the edges and I would do that next time.I was able to get everything cleaned up and patch applied in about 5 minutes. Then 10 minutes of curing before filling it back up to original pressure. I left it overnight and checked the next day and the pressure didn't budge a bit.I'll be driving the patch this weekend on an offroad trip (note that this patch is not approved for on-road use and you really should just be using it to get off the trail -- I am just conducting some research about how well it holds up and accept the risks of driving on it) and will report back if it doesn't hold up but it really seems like it stuck on well and I don't foresee any problems.Definitely going to chuck this bag into my jeep and keep it as another option for trail repairs. Highly recommend
great product !! i have them for all my vehicles !!
Looks like an awesome product to have
On hand as I hunt the mountains a lot
And will be nice to have on hand when I
Need itb
We received your donation! Thank you so much
Absolute junk! I have cold vulcanised alot of tires and thought this would be a good temporary fix. The main prob is the glue! You cant have regular super glue that drys hard on a moving surface. I assumed it was somthing special but its not. It may work on a hole that a plug will fix but thats about it. Dont bother trying it its not what they say it is!!
Well thought out product and excellent customer service.
Had a good size gas in the sidewall of my offroad tire. Was hoping this would work. But it didn't. I think on a smaller cut it might work. But im not sure.
Thank you for the donation!
Excellent customer service. Excellent products!
Outstanding Customer Service, Product arrived quickly and as described.
Haven't used the product, as I bought for emergency reasons only. I think the thickness of the rubber is a bit extreme,and will cause it to get ripped off easy. I knew about the max psi recommended, but after getting this product, I also found out that you aren’t supposed to drive over 40mph, which is just a bit dumb. So it’s basically actually only for getting out of a tough situation, not in anyway an actual sidewall fix. Quite overpriced if all of these factors are considered
This kit was a life safer when we cut our tire on a rock.
Got a sidewall cut in Brimstone, and had to break out the kit. Followed the instructions 🤣 and worked like a charm, after rounding up some glue.
Customer service is second to none!
Great product, works well.
Very useful to have in an emergency kit to ensure tire repair to make it home from the trail!
Riseup Offroad is very excited to have glue tread as one of our sponsors for our upcoming fundraiser event in October. Thank you for your continued support.
The video I watched from “daddy jeep” had accelerator included in his kit and mine did not.
Hi Landon, the accelerator is out-dated and actually made our product less effective. You kit comes with our new rubber and adhesive formula that has a stronger bond in 5 minutes of cure time than the accelerator spray ever had. Enjoy your new kit!
I haven't had the chance to use the Full-Size Sidewall Kit yet. I'm the guy that likes to be prepared for anything. This is definitely a "What If" item and that everyone should have this kit in each vehicle. I wish this was already in my2021 JEEP Gladiator Mojave when I purchased it new. It would help some feel more confident to get out into the woods for an Adventure.
Excellent company to deal with great customer service.
This was a replacement for an older kit I had where the glue had dried out. Sarah from Customer Service was great and immediately replaced my original kit free of charge with the latest version (and better glue). Hoping I don't need to test the replacement kit anytime soon, but it is definitely a permanent part of my recovery kit.
I have not used it but looks good
Great product! Got us out of the deep desert with 2 sidewall tears. Everyonein our group was shocked by how well gluetred held up though the rock crawling and highspeed washes.
Works well for a "quick patch" say out in the woods in your buggy and had to get back or ride the rest of the day. Over a couple days, it will leak. Overall they're good to have in a pinch.
