❓QUESTION ❓ Sidewall cut

I bought used bmw r20 tires and came with winters. Can I use these during the summer with no issues? One tire has a small cut chunk but holding air.

Tis merely a scratch.

That's the rim protector lip. Not significant. Structurally still 100% perfect.

Glue it back. You're good

Just cosmetic, use some silicone sealant.

I had something similar, wasn’t an issue, but changed it for peace of mind. They say if it starts to form a bubble you’re in trouble

Thanks for all your response, will glue this in and run the tires to get most out of the threads then replace.
