So i was driving today and i didnt see a brick on the road and somehow drove through it i guess?
And when i parked at a parking lot i find that the tire is scraped but gladly the rim is perfectly fine, not any major big scratch. So is all good.

So some of the rubber is scraped kinda like humans when we scrape our skin, the rubber is still connected with the tire... so im wondering are there any glue that i can put on to kind to make it look better so it wont be just hanging all ugly?

Will super glue work or i need a special glue lol?

sorry dude, you cant do anything to fix it. if it holds air you might be ok, but the tire is now weaker to can blow easier if you hit a bad pot hole. but if it isn't bad or deep dont worry about it. only solution is to buy a new tire

Well it defintely holds air is not like a deep slice...
Just some rubber is sliced and is like not attached to the tire so i was wondering if i can put some glue there to not make it look so bad
And they r pretty new tires too =( less than 1k miles

there is really not much you can do, glue won't fix it. Please play it safe and take it to a trusted mechanic and see what he recomends. better yet, can u post a pic so we can see how bad it is. I'll give u an unbiased opinion in ur interest lol.

we need pics. The way you put It; it doesnt sound that bad if it still holds air. Idk, just keep driving it. Unless you have warranty on your tires.

I sliced mine pretty bad a couple months ago... I just ripped off the excess and kept going. It was a few millimeters deep
