No..I live in the country though...but I have a garage!.
Man..I have bad luck..
The other 3 tyres are completely fine...I even took the front 2 off and inspected the inside wall
No damage to rim either...

That sucks, even with road hazard warranty sidewall damage isn't covered.
And the P6s for our cars are $175ea.
I know, I replaced one a bit back.

How deep is it? It may be only cosmetic if it's not through the cording.

I would replace it... but if it's not that gouged, it shouldn't be a problem keeping it on.

The photo doesn't really tell me that much. It doesn't look that bad, but if you can feel the gouge, it's new tire time :(

Okay getting a second look on my PC's monitor I can actually see the bit of rubber that's gouged out (I was at a friends house when I veiwed it first and their monitor, well, isn't my monitor :unsure: ) Replace that sucker PDQ

Ya i'd be replacing that for sure. Think of it this way, are you really willing to risk your life for $200? I'm certainly not, so if it was me i'd replace that PDQ.
Tyre Damage - paolo - 06-26-2006
replace it.
i dont want to fv(k with unsafe tires.
Tyre Damage - ANTHONYD - 06-26-2006
Replace, that tire could be the difference between life and death.
Tyre Damage - jen_deans - 06-26-2006
Yea, replace it, just dont buy at dealer- you can get them way cheaper elsewhere
Tyre Damage - SVT ZX3 - 06-27-2006
Bah, leave it on. You've had such good luck with this car what could possible happen......................................................................
J/K, ditch that mofo ASAP.
Tyre Damage - NOS2Go4Me - 06-27-2006
I'd replace that in a heartbeat, man. f***ing around with tires is a good way to have an impromptu driving skills test. :ph34r:
Ever had a blowout at 100+? I have... thankfully it was one of the rears!
Tyre Damage - Burnin21 - 06-27-2006
I'd replace that if I were you, I'd rather be safe than sorry......
Tyre Damage - euro_zx5 - 06-27-2006
Dealer pricing gives me the rim for 240, the tire must be decently priced...
