New tyre, first puncture

[Basil.B]

Got my first puncture today since returning to cycling last August. My 3 week old Continental Force tyre, has now got a nice cut in it!
This was caused by a small sharp stone, lucky I was nearly home.
The cut is quite deep, is it best to get a new tyre?
Hope not!

The Force is the rear tyre isn't it ? If it is the rear I wouldn't worry about it just seal it up with superglue. Even if its on the front I'd only really worry if its on the sidewall.

No just use the tyre to destruction but keep an observational eye on the cut till you forget about it completely, probably 10 minutes down the road.

Will keep an eye on it. Might put a boot patch on the inside of the tyre.
I'm not going to throw a new tyre away!
Went out on it today, seems fine.
