Hello everyone. I've done two auto-x's in the last month and noticed a small split in my front passenger tire. What do you guys think? Do you think it is still safe to use this tire or should I retire them? They probably have a few more events left, tread-wise, before they are completely done.



Thank you for your help!

RE92's???

As long as your holding air, shouldn't be a problem. On the other hand it could blow out at an event? Who knows?

Yeah, they are RE92's. I know, I know, not great tires, but they will help me learn to be a better driver than throwing some super sticky tires on there and having them compensate for my mistakes.

I would say retire them. If i was doing the tech inspection and saw that, I would probably fail that.

My opinion:
Autocross maybe
Rallycross maybe
Street driving probably not
Track driving HELL NO

Thank you for your responses everyone, and the break down Mr. Kleen . I'm going to retire them.

I switched them a little, haha.

Depends on how deep it is really. LOL, I have blocks missing off my RallyX winter tires with ~10k on them and they are fine, haha.

There is a difference between blocks missing (Just flipped the RallyX tires to put the missing blocks on the inside the other week) and a crack on the tire (into and off of the tread block). What is the build date on those tires?

My opinion.
Street driving yes if you carry a spare
Rallycross maybe
Autocross no
Track driving HELL NO

I checked and it looks like the build date is 4905.
