Cracked Tire?

[BlkSS]

Well I was about to throw these on and I noticed this, do I need a new tired? Don't think it's fixable?

[v8minus2]

is that a crack or a cut?

[sstony]

i rode around/raced on a drag radial tire that had a slit in the side from me curbing it. i was worried, but i examined it on the inside as well and monitored it. i had no issues with mine.

how long have those tires been off wheels?

I'd get a new one and keep it as a temp. spare. No need to risk life because of a bad tire.

they are still on the wheels, i havent put the wheels on yet.
Im not sure if I am going to like the wheels, so thats why I dont want to get another tire yet if I dont ahve too.

mine looked like that but wasn't as long. i had 2 of them where i think the tire actually got pinched and cut.

just be easy on them and watch it for the next few days. i prolly rode and street raced on mine for 3 months like it was.

let the air out of it and pinch it so it opens up

if you can see nylon, new tire time
