Do you think my street tires are reusable?
The shop that took them off messed on the rubber around the band. Edit: This is on all 4 of them. Picture:

Well I'm planning on doing autoX a few times this Spring as well as traveling and doing a bunch of cruises in the local area.
Let me ask you guys this: Do you think it will hold up doing autoX? |

Let me ask you guys this: Do you think it will hold up doing autoX? Honestly, autocross isn't much more aggressive than what I do on local streets/potholes/bumps and whatnot... I would think you'd be fine unless the steel bands are broken. If there is separation in the metal, don't chance it... but if it's just that rubber layer, cement it up and go ahead, but again, that's just me being cheap lol. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.
