A pair of new shoes on the rear!

 

Here is the damage to the tyre now that it’s off. No cords showing although the cut just reaches the thinnest part of the sidewall (about 1/3 out from the rim) after the thickest part that forms the rim protector. The chunk is a few mm thick too.

Well done for changing that one, it was a bit too deep a cut.

 

I would of got the Superglue our for that one

Me too, in fact I have done in the past for an identical cut.

 

Would not have done it if it had exposed and/or cut any of the plies but the rubber remaining on that photo looks to be as thick as the rubber over the rest of the sidewall.

Superglue is no good as it sets hard, it then cracks apart.

You want a glue that stays flexible, like a vulcanising glue.

 

Thanks AG Falco

I used foaming polyurethane glue, black sikaflex would have been best but not worth opening a tube for a tiny job.

Good decision made. 

+1 for using an adhesive if the damage is superficial.

 

I recently saw a clip of mechanical nightmares on YouTube and a slashed sidewall repaired with a line of staples reminded me of this post.
