Tire damage

[scenic760]

Hey All,

Got a question for everyone..I just picked up a set of used Mickey Thompson tires and while I was stacking them away I saw this chunk loose on one of them...

Do I need to worry about this or throw some glue on it?

I would have a real tire guy put a patch on the inside and glue the outside with that vulcanising glue they have. Also keep track of that tire and never use on a steering axle.

So a moderate amount of worry...makes sense! THANKS!

I would toss it unless it will be used for nothing but speeds under 50.

Keep it on the back. I've gotten dozens of damaged Humvee tires from Ft Bragg & have been fortunate that they were no real issues when running them. Some had to be patched (booted) & ran with a tube. Small price to pay when the tires retailed for $1600 & we could get all the blems we wanted for free.
