I've had good success with repairing large cuts in tractor tires using the so-called "boot" patches. I use a wire brush on an air die grinder to really get down to some "live" rubber. Try to pull the crack together as tight as possible before applying the patch. The last one I repaired, I filled the crack from the outside with black silicon gasket maker. This was done about 6 months ago and the silicon is holding real well. I think this will help the longevity of the patch by keeping out the dirt, water and whatever.

The local tire shop does something they call a "section repair" on torn tires. It involves a vulcanizing process to melt a repair patch into the tire casing. Never saw it done but that is what they told me. Costs more but is better than a boot In my opinion.

If the cut is from damage and not dry rot you may have a chance at repair. Put a boot twice the length of the injury over it. The key to success is using enough cleaner and letting it dry properly. You are only buying yourself some time, eventualy dirt will enter the original hole and push repair loose. I have seen them last 3-4 yrs. Good luck
