tire sidewall rip. replace or repair

[Delro]

Seems like a small tear. But just wanted to get your thoughts on repair or replace.



piece that came off

There is no repair for that since the sidewalls flex so much.

Either roll on it or replace.

For peace of mind I would replace. Tires are one of the most important parts on your car. You don't want a blow out on a highway. The ramifications of saving $100 are not worth your life.....or anyone else's.

Duct tape it back on (but only with the silver duct tape)

Jk, replace that tire, that's just asking for a blow out.

I would highly recommend you replace it but if money is tight, eh, watch the spot carefully. If it bubbles or bulges even slightly replace it immediately. If it doesn't then I think you could skate by for a little while. Do the tires have a lot of life left in them or are they looking like they might get replaced soon anyway?

Simple. Replace.

thanks guys. Will replace it this afternoon. Its fairly new, just around 7,000miles, so Im hoping changing 1 tire is ok.

Changing one is fine.
