Tire that won\'t stay round

I have an old set of gumbo monster mudders 35X14x15 on 10" rims ,weather cracked pretty bad. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Now one has started to leak through the side wall (found this after a mud hole) and is getting worse day by day /forums/images/graemlins/angryfire.gif
My "Q" is , is there a way to doctor this up to hold air for a few weeks until I can pick up a set of 36's /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif
Any method within reason would be appreciated. /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
Thanks.

Install an inner tube

Use an inner tube for a temp fix and make sure its on the rear just in case you have a blowout /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Patch on the inside. (Not plug)

I did'nt think it was possible to put a patch on the side wall of a tire /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
I'll look to see if I have a tube for it
Thanks for the ideas everyone /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I had a nail in a sidewall down close to to the tread. the tire shop said a patch wouldn't hold. I patched it myself and it was still holding 3 years later when I sold that truck.

What about a can of that 'stop leak' stuff?

Yep, when I owned my shop I used to charge extra just to clean up the mess when a customer wanted a patch after adding the stuff. It can soften the paint on the inside of the rim as well. Its great for wheel barrows, torch carts, etc but I dont use it on automotive applications. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
