Rear Tire Gouge Repair?

I've got a JD 5300 that I use almost exclusively for brush hogging and one of the rear 16.9x24 tires has several deep slices/gouges in them. These gouges are roughly 1" long x 1/4" wide and are in the face/tread portion of the tire, not the sidewall. I'm afraid that these gouges, which are almost all the way through the tire, will be susceptible to puncture if stubble or a small snag stabs itself into the gouge.

Is there any product that I can use to fill the slices/gouges? It doesn't have to provide any actual strength, just fill up the gouges to protect the tube.
 
Question is do they expose any of the cords the tire is made of? If only in rubber I would not worry but exposed cords means big problems.
 
You talk about stick to anything, the thing that comes to mind is black spray-can truck-bed coating. Got mine at O"Reill"y.s
I repaired my steering wheel with the stuff. I guess it might be polyethylene or something, but it will not NOT come off.
 
IIRC Devcon used to make something specifically for that (industrial rubber roller or wheel repair) that you would make a crude mold around it for and pour it in. Don't know if the stuff is still around.

Miller Tire had a product for that. I have never tried it. Could not find it on their site now. Might be worth a call.
 
My local tire shop that does agricultural tires sold me two rear tractor tires that were repaired by them. The tires had big cuts in them and he said they previous owner didn't want the repaired tires. I bought them and have not had any problems.
 
I use 3M #8609 windshield install urethane for late model autos. Clean gouge real good and force urethane into place with "cling film". Store the left over in the freezer till the next time.
 
If they're Titan tires I'd just start setting a tire fund aside so it doesn't hurt so bad when they blow... Filling the cracks with goo isn't going to do anything for you and the tires do need the strength that the cord provides.

Tech tire repair has just what you want. Called A and B compound. Comes in two cans and is mixed together. Used it years ago when I worked at the tire store. Works good when done right. It is not a strengh repair for damaged cords, but it fills the hole good. Your local tire repair shop may get it for you if there are inclined. Miller tire has it and I think NAPA can get it also, will be NAPA brand though not Tech
 
Tech Catalog number 858 is what the other guy is talking about. Cost around $50 for the 2 cans and does not last long sitting in the work bench. If your lucky it will last 6 months in a sealed never opened can. BTDT and have the A can sitting here on my desk so I have the Cat # handy
 
If you can find a company that does retreads or industrial tire repair, they can do a "section" repair; they cut out the damage and vulcanize new rubber in it.
 
A and B compound works ok in some repairs,but it h
as to be used in accordance with the makers specs in regard to removing the damaged rubber and plies
Prep requires special tools for this.

It sounds like the gouges go all the way thru the tire if so a repair patch should be used inside of the tire if plies are removed in the repair process.
