Slash in brand new road tyre

[Jam9000]

I got this nice little slash in my tyre going up Edinburgh drive in the CTCT. These are brand new Pirelli Pzero Race tyres that had done 30km before the CTCT. Question is, do I leave the tyre as is or can I take it into my local cycle shop to get it fixed?xed?

Easy one this....slice of bread+heated element = toast.....sorry

Is it causing issues, or are you just concerned about it?
Dab some superglue in there maybe.

I would apply a patch on the inside, shouldn't be a problem

Question : is it tubeless or not ?

I would go with the combination of the previous 2 replies although it doesn't look like its cut all the way through.

Patch on the inside

Clean the actual cut and pop some super glue in

I would put a gator on the inside and carry on.

did it puncture? iF yes then patch the inside and rubberied super glue or shoeglooop to fill the cut.

If it didn't punture ie cut through the carcass then fill the cut as per suggestions or leave it alone. Its only a real problem if the cut is the same on the inside i.e. its right through the tyre

Best advice.

Thanks for the advice. It's just a normal tub type tyre with an inner tube. It did puncture as a result of the slash.

I'll clean it out, glue it with superglue and stick a patch on the inside.
