Yep. About a tenth mile from my apartment at a stop sign the tire pressure light popped up. Huge gash down the sidewall.
I already replaced one tire on my mustang a few weeks after buying the new set.

Spent last weekend cleaning and rotating my wheels/tires.

Idk whether to buy 1/2 more or to just go for new wheels and tires

side wall shit is the worst

i have 3-4 gashes in the tires on the bronco, but for crawling and under 60 on the free way to and from, they are fine lol

Its clear through the sidewall. Do you think they could actually fix it if its through the sidewall?

I just realized that I probably should have mentioned it was for the Mustang and not the Jeep.
I think my 5th tire for the Jeep is sitting at my parents for me to get mounted next weekend.

no. If small hole through tread they can plug easily. A gash in sidewall = new tire time.

How are you getting these "gashes" in the side wall? You got a pissed off ex?

You needed the low tire pressure light to tell you, your tire had a gash in it??
