 ??? Ummm . . . no.  S.C. - the crack in the tread isn't the problem.  The crack is the results of the problem.  No matter how well you glue the crack shut, you've still got a bad tire.  (as ASBug said "I see dead people." )

I've got 350 pounds of dead weight that isn't good for much of anything else . . . you want me to come over and bounce on your lug wrench and break 'em loose?

I am even more amazed that you were not kidding about putting rubber cement on it.  I don't know what more I could say about this without being rude.

Hey forget about the lug nuts. This is what you do. Jack the car up, take the axle off on the side that the lugs are stuck, take the tranny /engine out, have the spider gears welded so you can have one wheel pulling all the time.  Then on the side that the lugs are stuck, lock the brakes then strap "Wonder Boys" old skate board onto the tire. Put her back on the ground and off you go until the other tire goes flat. When that happens take the hammer that you were going to beat the lugs off with, hit yourself in the crotch until the Guys in white coats show up and take you back to the "Home"  :o :o ::) ;D
