    Found this gem this morning.

    I rolled back to the yard and red tagged it.

    Who thinks it's legal and good to roll? 20200929_101235.jpg

    I’d be more worried about the valve cap missing then that.

    The shop will probably slap some paint on it and switch it to the inside.

    It isnt that hard to straighten. Having worked in a tire shop. An 18" crescent wrench will fold that back (when the tire is deflated). Spray the ding with some soapy water. If it bubbles get it fixed. No bubbles? Your fine. Tho that is a sign of hitting a curb.

    Nothing really there to roll back. It looks like whomever rubbed the top of the picture, shaving the rim, and then rode up on the curb before falling off and taking the chunck out of the bottom.

    Valve stems are easy, but they were up in the sidebox while my phone was in my pocket.

    I'd roll with it. There are seven other good tires to compensate. Lol
