Crack in Sidewall - How bad?
 
Hey guys. While detailing my car today I noticed a crack in the sidewall of my right-front tire. How bad is it? :confused:

If you're unsure about stuff like this, I'd recommend just getting a new tire. Better safe than sorry. A blowout isn't something I'd take a risk on, especially the front tire.

A small scratch or cut is one thing but that looks like it might of penetrated midway of the sidewall. I'd replace it.

Life's worth more than that tire.

Could be a manufacturing defect - hit'em up for a freebie. Unless of course you know for sure you did it. ;)

Just picked up Michelin PSS F255/40/19 and R275/35/19's. Holding off on the alignment until next week when my rear camber kit/springs come in.

I agree. Discount Tire was also very happy to agree for my safety I'm sure. :rolleyes:

On the plus side. RE-050A to PSS is a huge difference. It feels so... grippy :icon17:
