I recently found some tire damage on my front passenger side wheel...

I looks like a gash

It doesn't seem like air is leaking.

If i take it somewhere can they check it

Should I bother replacing it or it seem fine since its not loosing air?

The tire is a Nitto 555

 

Sidewall damage = gotta get a new tire.

 

I wouldn't risk my life for two hundred bucks.

 

Damn, that tires has like less than 5k miles -_-

Should i replace bothor just that 1?

 

Like Bananax says, I wouldn't risk my life or anyone else's for a few hundred bucks. Side wall damage, if it blows at speed, well, not a nice though.

 

I see a corresponding nick in the wheel. Possible damage from a pot hole. Should you replace the tire? I would not what to experience tire failure at 100mph. But that's just me.

 

I didn't look at the enlarged shot to start with, but have now. Man personally I'd be down at the tyre shop as soon as it opened. It looks like it's bubbled a tiny bit as well, judging by the shadows.

 

ordered a tire

shop checked it out and said it didnt puncture anyhting and it looks to be only cosmetic, but i still got a new one

these tires have like 5,000 miles on them.

will i get any steering, (car leaning to one side) becuase of the uneven thread wear or anything?

im also getting allignment same day i get the tire on

 

As your probably more than aware the ideal is to change all fours or both on the applicable axle, when changing tyres, but in your situation, given the damage, 5,000 miles isn't a lot, you may notice a very tiny bit of a difference. As long as you stick with the same brand and type of tyre, you should be okay as only reasonable minimal mileage.

Good luck with your replace tyre.

 

Ill let you know. Getting it on first thing tomorrow morning.
Replacement is exactly the same brand and size
