    Good day Tacoma World,

    I had a quick question regarding the tire on the front passenger side of my truck. Today i decided to give it a detail wash, and noticed a small rip on the outside wall of the tire. I snapped a few pics in hopes I could find an answer on my own, without having to drive 10 miles up the 101 to Thousand Oaks Toyota.

    My question: Do I need to replace my tire? Or can I just leave it how it is, and hope it doesnt blow out on me? Lol

    Here are a few pics

    Minor surface imperfection. Don't sweat it.
