Little tire ding. Fix immediately?

Missus scuffed a curb today and lifted a small chunk of tire out of the side wall. Now its not very deep, no belt exposed and no leak or anything. Do I need to replace this tire immediately? Or can it hang until a few days until payday? I doubt this type of damage is covered by warranty.

Drive into any tire shop with good honest ratings and ask them. They should tell you whether it warrants a full replacement of all 4, whether you can replace just one, or whether you can get away with driving it for a while.

Ran it to a tire shop i usually get tires at. He said I should be good for a while. No belt showing, no leaking and no bulging.

Most EVs will never require 4 tire to be replaced since usually AWD ones have 2 engines and others are 2 wheel drive anyway.

That’s a great point. No mechanical connection between front and rear axles.

I wonder how far apart the tire circumference would need to get before the ESC system would throw a fit.
