hole in sidewall

have a LT235/85R16 (10 ply) with a split in the sidewall. I am thinking of patching the inside and using a high pressure intertube (80 psi). has anyone tried this and if so did it work. it will be one of the duals in the rear. thankyou

As if you needed another opinion; toss it - it's toast.

HTH.
