Tyre Blowout Advice.
Hi,
This morning I got a puncture in my rear tyre. There is a tiny tear to the tyre which is a couple of mm`s in size. I stuck a scab inside the tyre before changing the tube which had quite a big hole in it. I got home on low pressure, will the tyre be ok to use when pumped to around 110 psi. Bearing in mind I have covered the tiny tear internally with the scab patch. Or will the tube force its way through?
Any advice welcome.
Cheers.

2mm cut should be OK to use but keep an eye on it and if it starts to grow bin the tyre. Not much you can do to repair the cut but the scab patch will at least prevent some stray flak from going through the opening and the tube from bulging out.0
