Cut on steer tire sidewall

Dang i missed the whole wreck , i was waiting for it to happen to the cam truck. But someone was definatly watching over that guy. No oncoming traffic, kept it upright. Crazy how fast something can happen like that

 

You know what's a "Suksdonit" is? Sucks,,don't it. When loaded, that sidewall bulges quite a bit, and everytime that cut comes around, it weakens. It may never look any different on the outside, but a belt could be broken and you'd never know it. I'm glad you noticed it. Shows you are a good driver, but cost today can have you thinking differently. This is the price of trucking today, and I can't help but think, in a company truck, the shop has a whole stack of steer tires the boss got at an auction years a go for peanuts. Hard to compete with that. Today for an O/O, it's one step forward and 2 back. It's common math, it just doesn't pay,,,yet.

 

I'd run it and watch it carefully....personally.

 

On my truck any tire that gets a puncture or slice to the sidewall I change it. Damage like yours I would change it when I got to my favorite tire dealer. Within a couple thousand miles.
I try not to save $500 and have it cost $5,000.
Sidewall cuts make me nervous.
Good luck.

 

Depends on the tread depth.

I had a nail in one today. Only one got changed. But only one got changed not too long ago. Can't remember why.

So I've got new steers. But a few months apart.

 

No

 

$1000 is chump change, we’re all millionaires out here.
