Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / April 2006sidewall tire cut
Hello, I have a sidewall tire cut about 2 inches but the tire is fine with no loss of pressure. Should I be concerned. Should it be repaired or replaced ? Thanks !! > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks !! Even if the cut is so shallow that air isn't leaking, I would still replace the tire if it were on my vehicle. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks !! If you have a cut on the sidewall the tire is unfixable.

Can you see the cords at the bottom of the cut? If so, water can get in and cause 'tread separation' which can be a bad thing. If any cords are cut, the tire is likely to fail anytime at highway speed. If it is just a cut in the rubber compound, then you 'shouldn't' have issues, but....

No it is just a rubber cut/slice. Even if I spread the cut I only see black. I switched it with my full size spare rim and tire. I believe as a spare it should be fine. > > Can you see the cords at the bottom of the cut? > > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > black. I switched it with my full size spare rim and tire.
