Any tire shop professionals on this forum
Hey guys, one of my front Yokohama Parada Spec2 tires has been losing air. I filled it on Sunday to 35 psi and yesterday it was down to less than 15# so I took it off to inspect it. Couldn't find a single issue with the road surface of it. Here I found about a 3/4" cut just above the normal side wall. I already ordered a tire on Monday but since this tire only has 3500 miles on it, I'd like to know if it could be repaired as spare. I don't know if where this cut is, that there are steel belting or whatever. The are not deformaties(bulges) of the sidewall from the damage the cut made. I've been read about patching from the inside where they run a patch from bead to bead. At $170 a tire I'd really like to use it later on down the road if needed. See attached pics.
Thanks for any info.
