you can fix it if you realy have to. first sew up the hole with braded wire that is used for fishing line . or heavy fishing line. then glue a patch on the inside thats twice the size of the cut. then put the tire back on the rim. dont forget to use a tube. now with the tire inflated turn the tire so the cut is uppermost and fill the cut with tire patch glue. this method worhs for side walls as well. I have done it to 6 tires over the years and they all have lasted. one I did the side wall on was on the front tire on my friends big(i dont know what model ) international after I ran over an old plow blade. the cut was about 6 inches long.I sewed it up and glued in a patch and put in a tube and he still has it like that now. its been 4 years.admittedly it sat in the paddock for 3 of those years because the engine stopped working. but he has it going again and the tire is still doing its job.
