Tyre Vulcanising

Waffletraktor

Hi, has anyone experience of getting tyres repaired via vulcanising?
Tyre on telehandler has gained a 6" cut in the sidewall on a fairly fresh tyre we'd rather not have to fully replace. Goes 15-20mm deep at the worst part.

Can give a guess to what happened as it's in the last week it occured, just see if the candidiate was trying to hide it or were unaware.

Places are hesitant to do that now. They're not really supposed to do it and it could leave them open to being sued

There’s nothing wrong with a vulcanised repair so long as the place doing it do it correctly and know what they’re at. I’ve seen many crap repairs that are brought in to be fixed, there’s some real chancers out there, but there are some good guys who know their stuff and specialise in this.

I had a cut in front tyre side wall. It was a very good tyre, only few years old. Hinch in Tullamore vulcanized it. Did a good job. I think it was two years ago. No problems since. Just to say it is a two wheel drive tractor. I don't know if they will do same for driven wheel tyre.

That type cut cant be done as it in with the ribs if it was cross ways it probably could be but you'd need a good guy doing it

have a tractor back tyre done here for years but it is more of a triangle shape cut, newish tyre at the time said i'd chance it. the cut in the picture looks quite long so might bulge out more?

A week old 580/70r38 got side wall ripped with a beet harvester 5 years ago. Hinch tyres vulcanised it. Bit of a bulge on it now but still goin.

Has anyone ever used tireject?? I've seen it on a few videos but never used it. I presume in this case vulcanising would be the best option.

Thanks for all the replies, cut ended up going through 1st couple of layers of sidewall plies and was reckoned to be too far gone.
