    So I noticed a slit on my front tire. Pic below. It's holding air. What adhesive do y'all recommend I use to bond it back together? I'm going to patch the inside and realize it's not a forever fix, so I don't need any advise saying to replace.

    My vote is to run it til it blows.

    Not aware of anything that will bond it and actually hold. I get them in my equipment tires all the time, I just keep going. Had 1 tare on a root and it leaked. I ended up putting a tube in.

    Go to walmart and get some slime to put in it. That stuff works good.

    I ended up using a marine grade GOOP and it turned out great.

    I'd have probably tried heat and vulcanization.

    Either cleaning the cut on all sides and trying to melt/bond it back together with a hot knife or precision torch or cleaning it up and using good glue/cleaning and melting rubber into it for a good bond.

    Seal the seam and a cut doesn't matter for the most part.

    Punctures leak and require repairs
