Is this tyre toast?

[ads]

Stupidly bunny hopped a kerb today at 30kmh and didn't get the rear high enough. Rear tyre hit the kerb and blew out instantly with a pinch flat. I've repaired the latex tube so will see how that lasts but does this tyre look done to you? I've used a park tool patch on the inside to help but there's a very very slight bulge where the damage is...

Oddly enough I did something similar recently.
But I think the side of my carbon rim delaminated. And I should probably throw it away or use it for decoration.

I threw my tyre away because I run tubeless. Maybe running tubes may be fine.

Damn that's a shame. Hope the wheel wasn't expensive.

My Veloflex Corsa EVO has the same damage (caused by rolling over a snail shell...). Would tire boot able to permanently fix it?

Booting will definitely get you home, but the problem with booting it is that there will most likely be a bulge due to the lack of intact cords, so wear will be faster at that point; the tyre will end up being thinner there. If you're using a tube you might get some extra mileage by doing this, but ultimately the solution is going to be a new tyre once you get sick of replacing the worn-through boot(s). Been there, done that.

Cool. That makes sense. Too bad that tire has less than 200km, new af...

Cheers for the replies. Yeah it's annoying as the tyre has loads of life left and TCs aren't cheap. Never mind, could be worse.

Superglue the hole, it should be fine.

I think it's better to use vulcanizing glue as it won't stiffen and later brake like superglue

As in the stuff you get in puncture repair kits?

Just type vulcanizing gluecin google. It's a specific glue for rubber so it won't be stiff like super glue

This has worked a treat by the way. Regular puncture repair patch to the inside of the tyre as a boot. Park tool patches on the latex tube. Vulcaniaing glue in the outside cut on the tyre. Done approx 500km on it now and no problems at all
