Some how I got a cut on the side of my terra grapplers. Im assuming probably a glass bottle on the side of the road, our road is so narrow when you pass another vehicle both have to get over in the grass and it never fails it right where a bottle is. Its about 1/8" deep and doesnt leak, I was wondering if there is some kind of glue that would work on rubber to strengthen up the cut? The tires have maybe 5k miles on them and I would like to do what I can to get the most miles as possible.

 

Nope, sorry, safety hazard, you must buy a new tire.
If it was in the tread you could get away with it, but because the sidewalls are what flexes as you drive over things it will get bigger and eventually leak or blow out.

 

Yea, replace. Thas just a plain safety hazard.

 

Would it make a good spare?

 

I wouldn't want to drive on it... But if it was between that or sitting out in the boonies all night then yes.. It looks a hell of a lot better than my spare for sure!!!!

 

I feel you pain brother. Happened to me 4 times over the previous 6 months. Ask my
significant other I was FTBT. Sidewall, gotta change it.

 

I guess I should have bought the extra road hazard coverage. And the rover munched down another $200... To be continued....

 

I always get the extra road hazard coverage on all my cars!
Go talk to the place you got them from and see if you can add it onto the tires that are good still.
