Tire damage question

B_Hxn · 01-03-2022, 08:02 PM

I was just looking at my tires, and noticed this little nick - it's not very deep at all.
I assume it's nothing, I'm not sure how it happened, but wondered if it's something I should be concerned about in terms of it affecting the integrity of the tire.

Thanks!

That is no problems at all for the tyre. It happens when the wheel is curbed (see the rash on the wheel).

Seems kinda obvious how it happened, looking at the wheel.

No problem at all. I had a chunk missing after I let my friend drive my car and he curbed my wheel. Tire is thIck enough not to leak after a small cut like that.

You're fine. Tire sidewall isn't thin.

Glue it back rather than cut it off so it can protect the sidewall.

+1 for gluing it back or just cut it off
