I think i already know the answer to this....

Would you track this tire? My vote is hell no.

I bought a set of takeoffs for $750 plus shipping. The damage was never disclosed.

I dont think I should be doing 180 MPH on this tire......

Edit, it doesn't go deeper than the tread.

I’d be demanding a refund and they pay for return shipping.

Since the structure of the tire is not compromised, you could get away with it. But the seller should have informed you. Thread title says it all.

Not worth the risk. Period.

Seriously, no way I’d track that tire.

The seller pulled a dirty, dirty on you. Can you have a vulcanize repair done?

if its not really deep you're probably fine but that is some bullshit.
if its really compromised demand refund.

I asked the seller to refund .25 of the total (before shipping). In other words, refund the price of that tire. So far radio silent. If I don't hear from him by Monday, I will open a case with PayPal.

Yea, no way you F around with questionable stuff when you will continue to bounce off the speed limiter. The benefit vs risk just doesn't add up. It's a new front tire to complete that set. No other way around it.

paypal always sides with the buyers so don't worry about it. they'll see that picture and close your case faster than hell man.

PayPal sucks. A Chinese company ripped me off once and it took forever to get my money back. I'm prepared to go through that again, but the seller has to be fair. That tire is questionable even for street use.

Damage to the tread won’t cause a blow out, most of the rough edges would probably wear down pretty quickly with heat. I vote send it so long as the side wall is intact and it doesn’t extend deeper than the tread blocks.

I would probably use them for street use, but definitely not on track. Sellers like that really piss me off for not disclosing an obvious flaw

It's delamination. The tire doesn't blow out so to speak. In this case, the tread is compromised and should the tread separate, it would be disastrous at top end speeds.
