    Slashed front tyre today!(16.9x24) Question is would you replace other tyre too?
    Tyre is only about 50% worn. Just wondering would there be sync. issues with the tyres having different circumferences?
    Bloddy limestone jagged rock!

    any chance of getting it vulcanised ?

    maybe look out for a part worn to match up

    If the cut is far enough away from the bead and isn't too big then there's a good chance it could be fixed with a gator/vulcanized. If not definitely go for a part worn replacement with roughly the same thread as the other non damaged tyre and also preferably the same rating i.e 6 ply 9 ply radial etc. I wouldn't worry too much about matching brands as long as the rating is the same. I really couldn't see the point in replacing the two with new ones; too costly and simply no need really!
