Danny Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 One of my tire got nasty hit on the footpath resulting in little crack in tire rubber. No pressure is loosing, no tire rubber piece is missing, it's just a small slit through the rubber. Wondering if there is any glue, adhesive or spray that I can use and fix this little crack in time before whole tire get damaged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treks Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) @Danny, I would not advise trying to repair the tire, because you have no idea how badly the sidewall and/or tread reinforcing plies may be damaged. Hitting an object hard enough to cause a tear in a tire almost always damages the underlying structures, so if I were you, I'd play it safe and replace the tire.

Gaurav Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Treks is right danny, if its major slit better change it for safety reason. I had a similar one in my Mustang low profile tire and it was very superficial slight cut since over a month now and it's fine. For major deep cut, change them asap. Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahimdad Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 As per my experience and damage to the sidewall cannot be repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstar Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 If its really superficial then you can use the super glue or rubber cement to stick back that top layer. If its any deep where threads are visible under the rubber then better change it for safety reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
