OH GOD, my KUMHO SIDEWALL
i bought some tires awhile back, they were in great condition except i didnt notice that on one of the tires, the sidewall looks like it was previously hit on a curb(bought these used)
looks like a chunk of it came off, airpressure is fine but other than that it looks like a POS
WAHH
i know theres no repair for sidewall damage if its losing air, but what about this scenario?

I had a 'chunk' taken out of my Toyo T1R sidewall and still drove on them for 4,000 hard miles. They held up fine. When I finally replaced them, I took at look at the tire and was shocked to see how thin these sidewalls really are and how dangerously close I was to a catastrophic blow out.
The tech who replaced my tire said I was one lucky guy. he's seen less damaged tires blow out. Like everyone else is saying, I'd get a new set of tires if I were you.
