Have a tire place you TRUST look at it. But, it is my experience that with tires and the liabilities that go with them you will be told that it needs to be replaced. And frankly it's cheap insurance. If your miles are low you will probably be able to get away with just one new tire.

Agreed, I wouldn't want to risk my safety to save a little money on the tire.

Hard to tell from that picture how THICK of a slice that is. If it is a very thin shave I wouldn't worry about it. Also wouldn't worry about "gluing it back" if it is very thin. If not very thin then I agree with the others above.

Just got it checked at tire shop

Just went and got it checked from a tire shop they said it's not too deep where we can see the threads so not to worry about, but it's look ugly from the outside thinking of how to glue and patch it , any ideas

super glue would work..

 

[drowned12]

+1 superglue would probably do it. Or rubber cement

And I love threads like this. Now everyone reading it knows that as long as you can't see the sidewall threads, you're good.

If it's not deep just get a razor and cut that little piece off. That's what I'd do.

If it's not directional tires, have a tire shop swap the inside to the outside so it won't be an eye soar.

I was gonna ask the same thing when i saw the pic. :lmao:

 

[cnsheets]

I had something very similar on a previous vehicle. I ranto HD and bought some Gorilla super glue, said it works on rubber. (make sure it says works on rubber, as some do not) I glued it down and you could hardly tell where it was and it NEVER popped back up.....Make sure you clean it out first with some rubbing alcohol first......

Replace tire. It's the only thing holding you against the road.

 

[WDMaccord]

I don't care how deep it is, that tire is now weaker in that spot. For peace of mind, personally, I think I would replace it. Maybe the dealer could get you some proration credit. Guessing not likely, but wouldn't hurt to ask.

Sometimes the tire shop can repair if it's only cosmetic. If not, you will have to have it replaced.

Sheeessshhhh!! That was an entertaining read...

I hate when that happens. If it just got chunked by a sharp edge/stone and isn't deep, no worries. If it's the result of a pinch replace the tire.
