Cut in tyre sidewall - advice
I have noticed this cut in the sidewall of my BFG Mud Terrain. What are people's thoughts on this? Should I have the tyre replaced?

Yes, I'm afraid so. You will be fined if you're stopped driving on that since the cords of the tyre are exposed. Big Cry

in an ideal world yes replace it or you could take it to a truck vulcaniser and get it repaired.

if its scrap most good ones will tell you

keep it as a spare perhaps?

They can re-vulcanise the repair to a tyre down to one inch above the rim. You will have to leave the tyre with them as it has to be baked. I have used them previously.

Hope this helps
