Tire damage from car lift

[Ndx]

Hi Guys,

I had car on a lift and I didn't realize the arm edges we're pushing in to back tires..

Picture of damage, should I get new tires ?

Car was on lift for 2 weeks and was pushing against tire.not much but enough...

Seems like one thread part is damaged rubber pushed

This is the arm that caused it

you're fine.

Do you feel any wobble when driving or hear any strange noise?

From the pictures, it looks like the damage is only to the tread area. It might just wear down/even out if you continue driving on it, or it may develop some strange wear pattern, not sure.

Doesn't look bad to me.

Didn't drive it yet ...

I will keep you guys posted.

Yes it's thread area one piece of thread is broken a little bit as you can see on first picture

Thx guys

That's really minor. Drive it for a while and reinspect. If there's no thumping or bulges you're likely fine.

It's just the tread area, which will wear off anyway

It might be a little noisy until it wears more, I wouldn't worry too much, just keep an eye on it.

Don't see a thing wrong with that tread.

To put it into perspective punctures are worse and those are repaired and driven on without a second doubt, nobody throws out tires for those. Rashed tires too where the steel cord starts to show and people still drive them (even though that's a little scary). A little non-puncture damage to a part that's meant to absorb impact and wear is nothing.

Certainly not enough to condemn the whole tire without having driven it for a while. The stuff in the second picture will smooth within a week and you'll forget about the second one.

I cant see that doing anything, in some places cars have to park half on the sidewalk and jump curbs multiple times a day some even hang half on and half off with the tire all crunched up to blazes and still go on for years.

ah no big deal, tires are pretty durable, thats only minor

looks like it left a clean spot.
