    personally i would change it.. Road bikes take serious psi and im sure it would do the weak spot whee the slit is no favours

    If the cut is on the tread area, you could try some superglue. OTOH, if it's on the sidewall you need to be sure that the sidewall is still intact. If there's any bulge in the sidewall when fully pumped you run the risk of a blowout which can be dangerous.

    I'm no expert but surely if you changed your tyres everytime they get small nicks or cuts you'd be going through them like hot cakes? Personally I've noticed around 4 small nicks/cuts on my back tyre and have had one puncture recently where there was no previous abrasion. Normally before going out on a spin (almost everyday in fact) I pump them up to the recommended PSI and I sometimes wonder if I'm overdoing it by constantly keeping them at the advised PSI.
