Jules Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 does anybody here repair cracks in their tyres? I find my gp 4000s get cracks long before the tread goes. Then the damn glass gets in the cracks. And at R450 a type you want to make sure they last as long as possible :-)
Korbach Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Continental guarantee their tyres agains material and manufacturing defects. Maybe you should ask your LBS to have the tyres checked by the distributor. Sometimes cracked tread can be a compound problem. It can also be caused by under inflation which results in excessive tyre flex.
Jules Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 I suspect it's just cuts from glass. The compound is very soft and Johannesburg roads are littered with glass from beer bottles and car accidents.
AndreZA Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Remove the tyre from the wheel. Pinch it where the cut is and fill it with a drop of super glue.
