Tires Slashed in front of Mullet Cuts

Uh, oh. We have active hooligans in town. Someone was parked in front of Mullet Cuts the other day and got their tires slashed. They were out-of-towners who had parked there to go to the Lake - which is kinda rude, seeing since Mullet Cuts needs that spot for customers, but still - we can't have people taking knives to others' property. This must be stopped. We need information on who did this - so report to me or Sheriff Branum.



If you have a slashed tire, the first step is to call Sheriff Branum and report it. Then, assess the damage. If the slash is less than a quarter of an inch long and is located on the tread of the tire, it may be possible to repair the tire. However, if the slash is larger or is located on the sidewall of the tire, the tire will likely need to be replaced.

To repair a slashed tire, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Remove the tire from the vehicle and deflate it completely.

  2. Clean the area around the slash with soap and water to remove any dirt or debris.

  3. Use a tire repair kit to fill the slash with a rubber plug or patch. The repair kit should come with instructions on how to do this.

  4. Reinflate the tire to the recommended pressure and check for any leaks.

  5. If the tire holds air and does not leak, it should be safe to use. However, it's important to monitor the tire for any signs of damage or wear, as a repaired tire may be more susceptible to future punctures.

It's important to note that not all slashed tires can be repaired, and attempting to repair a tire that is too damaged can be dangerous. If you're unsure about whether your tire can be repaired, it's best to have it inspected by a professional tire repair technician.
