Well, it is almost winter here in the snowy N.E. That means it is time to put on the "old snow tires".

Trouble is one of my snow tires has minor sidewall damage from last winter. I know that the right thing to do is replace it. My question is how risky is it to drive on a tire with sidewall damage? Am I risking a blowout?

Tire has a slight buckled look to it on one sidewall. Probably pothole damage from last year...

Thoughts? Any tire experts out there?


Thanks,
Jim
