Industrial lug tyre damage

Hello,

I have a 18.4 backhoe tyre with an industrial lug. Tyre went flat and serviceman indicated the tyre is finished. He pointed out that the nylon threads in the internal wall has been chaffed in places along the sidewall possibly by someone driving the machine with the tyre flat from his observation years ago.

The tyre is still very good externally. Is there a way to repair it by coating the chaffed nylon threads with spray on rubber or is it off to recycling?


Cheers.

It is possible to do what would be called major Tyre repairs to a tyre it usually it involves hot vulcanizing and or fitting gator type patches. in side the Tyre I don't think all tyre fitters do it and from my experience the tyres always had to go to depot to be done if its viable depends on the extent of the damage and I guess the location of who can repair it .
we used to get some pretty badly damaged digger tires fixed as major repairs , but they where more like large holes then complete internal tire damage
I would think if the damage to your tire is the the full extent of the sidewall it may be scrap if it localized may be repairable if you post your location someone may be able to suggest a repairer .
