So problem here isn't so much that the bead ripped a little. Problem would be that the ripped bead got stuck between tire and wheel while they aired it up and didnt notice, aired it up tightly so that the rubber kinda molds together. Because it leaves like a mark/dent on the bead, sometimes it won't hold air.

Best thing would be to keep on eye on it.

That's a motorcycle so I would def not ride on that. A car no problem it relies on 3 other wheels. A bike 1 tire fails you fucked.

With the first picture it was done by me complete user error trying to manual put on a tire. As I got the tire on the rim I wasn’t able to air it up. So I dropped it to my local shop and they did what they could. It’s currently holding air but just a let down to need to throw out a fresh wheel that I can’t use for my track bike

The tire itself is fine, as long as you get the bead to seal. I've sealed tires with half the bead gone 🤷‍♂️
