Pureness Clutched April 27, 2013 Share April 27, 2013 the actual tire is extremely thick, in malaysia they regroove used tires and sell as new i don't think such a small scratch will be any problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafansu Turbocharged April 27, 2013 Share April 27, 2013 Doesn't look that deep. I won't change. Best is to consult tyre shops Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear April 27, 2013 Share April 27, 2013 Anyone who buys regroove car tyres as new must be blind Re-grooving are normally carried out on commercial tyres that are designed for re-grooving and later retreading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear April 27, 2013 Share April 27, 2013 (edited) Hi, One of my tyre having this chip off at the sidewall...not sure how I got it but is it safe to still continue driving on it? Anyone experience this before? Thanks I see yr tire thread already quite worn so might as well change tire. Remember to change at least 2 tires on same axle together. If can change all 4 better OH I JUST NOTICED THIS TIRE IS QC FAILED. BETTER CHANGE IT IMMEDIATELY THEN. Edited April 27, 2013 by Pisces69 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear April 27, 2013 Share April 27, 2013 (edited) Try to get the slight damage fill up with two parts A & B rubber curing compounds. Not many tyre shops have such compounds. Edited April 27, 2013 by Yeobh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its blank or scratched out...it failed QC. Problem u dun know what was its defect. Usually destroyed but sometimes if defect considered not too serious....its sold as a cheap defective tire fr little old ladies who seldom drive over 40kmh n 500km per year. Hahaha. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
