- In a fit of stupidity, I scraped my right front tire
- against the concrete curb in front of my house at
- about 10 MPH.
-
- My inspection revealed that the sidewall has a small
- V-shaped piece of rubber about 0.75 inch on each side
- cut into the sidewall.
-
- When I flipped this little flap of rubber up, I could
- see the outer layer of belts.
-
- Have I screwed up a perfectly good Michelin? Or is
- it possible to get safe life out of it?
