Sidewall Compromised - Dare I run it

[chefwong]

On the right lane....had to cut a hard right to prevent the middle lane driver who insisted on breaking the right with no room to spare.
I felt I touched the mini -curb-shoulder transition but when I pulled over mainly to see if I ### curbed rash the right side wheels. All was well so off I went.
Upon further inspection the following day I'm seeing a small groove in the sidewall

I'm measuring 6-5.5 /32nds and was planning to eek them out for the remainder of the season
I never get down to 4's when I replace....but generally knew I had another season left on them (season being '24)

Sidewall rash - linear, can be felt via fingertip.
Whadda say. Should be okay or not worth the potential blowout. These are low pros at 295/35/21 and 315/30/22.

I'm shocked the rim didn't get some curb rash (you got lucky there). I don't like how that sidewall looks, you must have been moving at a pretty decent speed.

I would replace it if this were mine.

I have a second set of summers....so probably will swap them out and deal with these another ## day. And yeah, if I had to question it, I already had my answer.....

I'd keep rolling

It's probably ok - I've seen way worse on cars coming in.

If I was the only driver I'd use it no worries. If it was my wife or kids car it would be changed out.

Pictures don't tell the whole story ( hard to tell if damaged ) .
But from the pics i would run it still.

I didn't see any cords exposed. If there are, then the tire is toast. Otherwise, it is structurally sound.
