I recently ran over a shard of glass and punctured my tire and tube. Nice excuse to buy new tires for the road bike.

I wanted to put the punctured tire on an old commuter I have. The gash didn't look that bad when the tire was deflated, but now its on the wheel and inflated I don't know if the tire is any good.

Let me know... Pics below.

I wouldn't ride that tire anymore.............

Get a new tire man.... And some Mr Tuffys.

urm......well there's like a huge hole right there in the tire.

Time to let go.

Can't really be frugal** about this one...sorry mate.

IF you feel the need to ride it boot it, though personally I'ld let this one go.

Really.

+1 lol. Replace it.

Just when you think that BF can no longer shock you with idiocy...

edited to add - OP, yeah, that tire is done.

Put a boot in there and ride it.

Do people really say this?

Really ignorant ones, evidently.

Sure, it's the internet afterall.

I heard it quite a bit back in the 70s, maybe up 'til 1981 or so when I moved to the western USA. Been pretty rare since.

The Scots used to catch flack for being cheap also, haven't heard action in a LOOONG time.

Ok thanks for all the replies! And, well my ancestors from from Scotland so maybe that explains the frugality. Off to the store to get a new one!
