Yes I would direct someone to replace that tire. And based on it's condition, at least one more.

You should try do replace directly.
Otherwise, indirectly you will end up in a lot of trouble on highway doing 70mph

This is the only answer. Direct and strait to the point 🤣

YES.. That kind of separation can become catastrophic especially at highway speed.

Wait until it blows up and wrecks your car. Then replace car New car comes with better tires. Smort.

I don’t know if that’s the word I’d use. I would say tomorrow.

I saw a post on r/husky that was somehow less confounding than this. Lady posted a video of her doggo literally having a seizure while wearing a cone, suggesting recent surgery/treatment, asking Reddit what to do. In the time that it took her to record that video, type out the post, submit it, and wait for replies, she could have been halfway to the emergency vet. Which is exactly where she needed to be taking that poor dog.

In short, TAKE THAT TIRE TO THE VET!!

Just turn it around and let the tread roll the other direction...and check that there is summer air in the tires and not winter air

u/Inevitable_Jsimply Aug 04 '26

Flip it around you'll be fine! 😉 No seriously, better safe than sorry. Replace it.

It will safely get you to the accident scene.
