Used to be a place over in Chattanooga that I believe could do it. I had left my dump truck on a job site over nite and I came back the next morning to one of the tires was cut. It was still holding air but it had a huge slash across the sidewall. This was a front tire and they are expensive (to me) so I took it to this place over in Chattanooga. They said they could fix it, but I could only run it on the back after they fixed it. Fixing it would have cost me the same as one of the tires I ran on the back already ($40) so I said no. I ran recaps mudgrips on the back. Tire shop called them potato diggers. But I only ran new tires on the front ($75). But if they could have fixed that gash then I"m sure they could fix some cracking and weathering. I think their name was Vulcan Rubber or something like that. Been a long time for me and I got fluff for brains. That was at least 15 years ago. They may or may not still be in business. There"s also a Vulcan Materials in Chattanooga. That"s not it. They handle rock and gravel. I know someone that mite know. I"ll try to remember to ask him tomorrow. But apparently, yes it can be done. Pooh Bear
