i was washing my car today and checking my tire pressure and i came across this on my drivers side front tire, is it still safe to cruise around? im afraid its gonna blow out on me now, i think im gonna take it to the local tire place monday and have them check it out but i would like to know what you guys think first, the car is a 96' EX Coupe 5 speed and i just picked it up last week, i dont know if this was there when i first got the car or not.

I couldnt see the pic, but if your worried about it, put the spare on and take the tire to a shop.

 

hmm that looks kinda bad. i have a bump on one of my tires but it isnt that bad. usually u can run around with it if their pretty minor but looks like urs is pretty bad with the cracked rubber.

 

Sorry to say this, man, but you probably have to buy new tires. This looks like structural damage.The faster you drive, the more critical it will be. You can probably just forget about this if you never go higher than 25. But don't even think about doing, say, 70 on this tire - it can blow any moment.

 

yeah, im going to be replacing the 2 tires on that front axle, i think im gonna go tomorow if theire open, if not ill go after school monday.

thanks for the help

 

do yourself a favor, read this and watch the video, if you are going to put new tires on the front axle...

 

I wouldn't drive on it, looks like the tire is toast.

 

Nice video Misha

it kinda lost its power over me when the car with new front tires looked really cool drifting around the corner though [8D]

 

thanks for the video, ill tell them that when i have them put the new ones on.

thanks
