Gouge in my side wall
Saturday, July 30, 2005 9:47 PM
Well... loose gravel + parking break = rim + curb.

No big deal. Rim is ok (stock steelie) and I dont care cuz I have spares and can mount them at school.

But... My tire has a bit of a gouge. Being that the side wall is curved, and the gouge is too, I cant say for sure how deep it is. It about as 'wide' as a quarter and as 'tall' as a dime.

I really dont have the money for new tires. Is this ok to drive on? Anything I should do?

Is it leaking air? If not slap it one the rear oh wait it already is right? Well then you should be fine. And no more gravel drifting for you!!!




Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.

Its not leaking air.

It is on the passenger front. I'll move it to rear tomorrow or monday then.

Shouldn't matter, but I would recommend getting a new tire on that rim ASAP, or a used one for that matter, something that has the sidewall fully intact.

Didn't get too deap? No cords showing? Could just shoe-goo the flap on. No flap? Replace tire.

Well I looked again today, in the middle of the day instead of the middle of the night, and it isnt that deep at all. The little stamped imprinting of the serial number is deeper then the gouge lol.
