Tire Question, Need Help ASAP

mig1980 · 11-06-2009, 05:12 PM

Good day everyone. I am looking at buying a near new set of tires. Two of them have some sidewall bead damage. My question is, if the tires have bead damage would this render the tires useless or would they still perform ok (hold air, etc). What affect does this have. Take a look at the pictures below.

that damage is just to the rim protector bead and will have zero effect on the tires performance or safety ...
