On a sidewall or tread block?

If on the sidewall, pull the tire off rim and use a nice big patch,

Take it to Jamie and OK Tire in Shawney (sp?) station off MacLeod, fellow wheeler and a great guy.

which direction is the cut in relation to the bead of the tire?if it is vertical from the bead (points at the bead) I can repair it. If it runs the same direction as the bead it may not be repairable.
