Tire sidewall scrap
I have recently purchased some Toyo MT's I am very happy with. Going through the drive through at my favorite fast food restraunt is always a tight navigation in my 1 ton chevy. Long story short I got a light scrape going about 1/5 the radius of my tire's sidewall. It is only a superficial scrape, no damage to tire.
I have looked around for some way to fix the scrape but have not had much success. I see have seen some products designed to help with this but I fear they will change the tint of the rubber and further take away from the appearance of my new tires. On my previous tires I was using black magic to keep them looking brand new but after you apply it once you must keep applying it or the tires get a dull shade to them, hence my apprehension about using any tire product designed to make it look "new". I have tried simple soap and water and it did help minutely but the scrape is still easily visual from 10 feet away. Any help is greatly appreciated! |

Re: Tire sidewall scrap
Vulcanising solution will help "stick" the tear, but it will change the appearance and will give it a shiny tint in some light.
we use it to repair punctures when using an internal repair or "mushroom" patch.
