Default cut tire

ok so today i was pulling out or a parking lot and i caught the sidewalk with my front wheel. Is sort of scraped my wheel but it cut a hunk of my tire out but its still attached i don't think its leaking air or anything but is there anyway to fix this like a glue or something i just don't want to buy a new tire if i can keep from it

I would not recommend trying to fix it. Sidewall damage on a tire is not good. I would get it repalced asap since the tire could blow out at anytime.

Sidewall damage makes tires unsafe at any speed. Do not drive the car unless it's to get a tire.

yeah, unfortunately, its time to shell out for a new tire, asap. i used to own a celica gt that had crappy lowering springs that sagged BADLY if there was two or more passengers in the car, and i would always cut my sidewall on the passenger side...would up blowing out my tire at 35mph. not fun. could kill ya man, please get it fixed asap.
