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. TEAM PITA: Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.

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 :(

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.

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:
