Possible to mend a slice in a new tire,..or??
Not sure if this is the place to post this question but here it goes...
So, I got a bad 27" tire in the mail a week ago or so. Continental Tour Ride (for my old Miyata 610).
It has about a 3cm long slice at the tread on the side....
Anything out there that would mend it so it could be used without any worries?..or??...trash it?

Slice goes in approx. 1/8" at one point,...doesn't hit the cords though as I'm looking at it.

The company I bought it from is taking care of me and has supposedly already shipped a replacement,.. but I figured I'd ask,..it's simply the idea of having a usable spare around appealed to me. That's all.

If the tread isn't separating from the casing I think I would use it. Check often, when airing up, to make sure it is okay.

When I was younger and we didn't have money for new car or motorcycle tires, we branded these as "Maypops". A good Maypop was worth a tank of gas or a six pack easy. The gas station in town even sold them on their "Farm Use Only" rack. Must of been fewer Lawyers in those days?
