Damaged Tire - ride it or bin it???
Hey All,
Did a search of this Forum with no luck so...
I crashed my mtb a few days ago which resulted in a wobble in the front tire that wasn't there before the crash. The tire is a Maxxis Minion DHF 2.3 EXO TR. The wheel has been trued, the tire completely removed and re-installed, and the wobble is still present. I think it's due to sidewall/carcass separation/damage. My question is: Is this tire safe for continued use or is there a risk of catastrophic failure at the damaged area? Thanks in advance for advice and input!

Carcass is torn. The hop will get worse. Toss it.
