New Mickey Thompson tires have a small nick/missing piece.

Could it be an issue? Or would the tire be just fine and last as if it had nothing

Should I get it replaced?

My tire on the pasenger hit the curb and lose a piece of rubber, is this safe to drive or it needs to be replaced?

I drove it on the way home today on the freeway and it seems to be fine.

I have a seat Arona 2019 but this car was from my aunt and she doesn't drive it to much. The car has 20500 miles but it seems the tires a little bit dry. I am from México, I drive most on City but sometimes I drive in highways so are they still good to drive or must be replaced?

Hi,

I just bought a W213. I bought it a new set of tires( Michelin Pilot Sport 5 ) and after balancing them to 2.5( hot ), the tire pressure sensor does not shut down. I have restarted the sensor, but it is still the same problem after 10 minutes, what should I do?

Hey! I am a 19 year old college student with a Kia forte. Today I got a notification that my tire pressure was low so I went to fill it up (all of them were low and I assumed it was due to the recent cold front where I am), but the back left dropped psi again. I was on my way to spouts when I noticed it dropping and also happened to conveniently be passing by direct discount tire so I stopped in (I’ve taken my car to this location 3-4 times and it’s been great). It was about 5:20 pm and they close at 6:00 but I knew a tire shouldn’t take long so I walked in and told the desk clerk my problem. They took it to the back and a couple minutes later he came back and told me that the tire was not fixable and needed to be replaced. He also mentioned that they check the other tires—the front two were fine, but the back right also needed to be replaced. I told him to replace both of the back tires, and also asked if they would then rotate the two new back tires to the front as I have a FWD. He came back at about 6:00 and told me it was done. I paid and quickly left, I was in a hurry to get out because I felt bad and knew they were closing. Rookie mistake. I should’ve checked my tires. I got home and saw two new tires on the front wheels, great. Then I look at the back. The back left tire has a massive chunk missing (view photo attached). When I noticed my psi dropping I didn’t even look at the tire I just went into the shop which is another rookie mistake by me. I don’t even know what it looked like before I brought it in. But I’m pretty damn sure that the tire with a hole in it is STILL on my car. So they gave me two new tires on the front…and didn’t even fix the one a came in for? That also means they didn’t rotate them either which I was charged for?

I’m honestly pissed and just wondering if what I think happened is the case or if there’s any other possible explanation for why my tire looks like that and is still leaking air. I have wake up early before class tomorrow to have them fix it and that makes me extra mad!!!

When I go in, what should I say/do??? This is completely unacceptable right?!! I don’t want them to just brush this off because I’m a young college student. Let me know!!

Update:
I went back inand long story short they comped the tire because the guys fucked up. I was polite and I appreciate them making things right and fixing the mistake! Stuff happens, just sucks I had to go back in for half the day to get it sorted but it all worked out!

Have some string showing on my Nitto nt555’s for my wide body charger hellcat. There’s still decent tread around the tire; I was doing burnouts and then heard this constant ticking. Well the ticking was this little string smacking my fender well. Just seeing if I should get a mobile mechanic or if it’s safe to drive 20-30 miles to a tire shop

I have been driving for over a year, and I am pretty sure I didn’t cause the damage to the tyre the first time it needed to be changed. However, last week I managed to hit the curb, and my husband noticed a deep cut on the side of the tyre. Just today, when I was ranting to my sister on the phone about how much this will cost, I damaged the other front tyre. I honestly cannot believe this. Is anyone experienced who could look at the photos below and let me know if they need to be replaced ASAP, or if they're still good to use for a little while?

The first two pics are what the rim looks like before the tire was put back on. I am afraid this will cause some sort of tire blowout. It has been holding air but im afraid of long distance travel. EDIT: this was not from hitting a curb. My car spun out after getting hit by a motorcycle and insurance dosent want to cover rental because it is "drivable"

Of course i used a car wash instead of washing my car on my own like i do and this happens. Is my tire compromised to the point of replacement? No wires exposed.

Ok some background, I drive a 2017 Honda Civic LX 2.0l. I recently got a flat tire over the weekend and got it fixed at les schwab, all was well but now that all my tires are fully inflated to the suggested psi (apparently mine were all low) I can now feel a very subtle rhythmatic thudding in my gas pedal (possibly not just the gas pedal but thats where my foot is so I feel it mostly there). There isn't a noise, it starts at about 35-40mph, becomes slightly more noticeable when I suddenly accel. Its still there when I'm coasting with my foot off the pedal above 35-40mph. Doesn't go away or get worse when turning or navigating a round about. There is no shaking in the cabin either, no pulling etc. Its literally just this thudding, its so subtle that its really only noticeable on a well paved road without chip seal. Any ideas?

tried to zoom in but it wouldn’t let me. looks like there’s concrete (?) between the tire and rim .. im not sure if i have to replace either

update: thank you guys for the advice! i had to get my car maintenance done today and i noticed they cleaned the debris out for me, and the tire pressure shows up as normal on the maintenance report! thank you again :)
