Repairing a cut on the outside of a tire can be tricky. For small cuts, use super glue for a quick seal. For larger cuts, apply rubber cement to cover flaps. Always prioritize tire safety, as sidewall repairs often fail. Consider using GlueTread for stronger results. If unsure, consult a professional to ensure structural integrity.
For deeper cuts, a tire patch kit may be necessary. Removal of the tire from the wheel is often required for proper application. Locate the cut and sand it lightly to help the patch adhere. Clean the surface again before applying the patch, and follow the kit’s instructions carefully.
Always remember to check the repair after a short drive. Monitor for any air leaks or abnormal wear. If you notice any issues, consult a professional.
