Seriously, anyone with flash tyres they are chucking after a few miles coz they have a tiny slit, I'll even think about paying your postage.

I suspect no-one here chucks tyres unnecessarily (I have a nice collection of ones that are flat down the middle in the shed). Unfortunately r0b1et , this is looking like you're verging on trolling here, if you're carrying this debate across multiple internet forums, then we need to take action on that. We've tried to give decent balanced advice to the OP, the solution we've offered deals with the issues, whereas you're persisting in arguing for a solution that adds further risk; yes OK, it might not for most of the time but then it just might, in which case why do it? The answers are to use a flexible filler on holes that don't threaten tyre stability, or perhaps none at all if it's just a little one, consider sealing the back with a patch if sufficiently large to be an ingress issue, the patch also stops tyre pressure exacerbating potential structural issues, it might be a puncture repair patch, or if the hole is a little more threatening, then the rubber impregnated weave ones are better for stability. If there's a risk of structural issues causing failure at speed, then best replace the tyre, that's the safety point we covered from the outset. This is on the whole a public forum, there are some closed parts but mainly it's searchable via internet engines, we also have lots of anonymous members and people visiting as guests for info and to learn - we should therefore aim to give decent advice. Hopefully that's a principle you have some sympathy with? I've no issue with people doing things their way but let's keep it real - if you want to carry on using the solution after considering the above, then that's your choice but you'll have to take the argument for it elsewhere. Thread closed as it's run its course.

Superglue on any tyre Nick will create a razor blade of dried glue, might aswell stand in the middle lane of the m6 , there is an inevitability regards outcome
Rubber cement is the answer but short term only, I did it with a rather tidy cut but used it as my turbo tyre for ten minutes, turbo specific tyres are best for the job clearly
