Took a chunk out of the sidewall smaller than a penny. How concerned should I be about driving on it? Last edited by chevydude2015; 10/13/20 11:19 AM.

That tire is Damn near $300. It's gonna ride like that for a while. I still have an inside tire. What you do today, you have to sleep with tonight.
