Safe to drive on?

I really dont want to buy 1 new tire... currently the set has 31k and has plenty of life left. I was planning to upgrade to 265/75 or so next year or closer to 45k.

It looks like whatever I drove over cut the tread section. No air leakage or anything, I just noticed it when walking around my truck.

 

Don't see why it wouldn't be. If it holds air, why not.

 

Those look like the same tires I have, General Grabber AT2? Anyways, I had the same thing happen to one of my tires except it was a little bit closer to the sidewall from where yours is, and mine drives perfectly normal still. Hope that helps.

 

As long as the tire is still holding air it'll be fine.

 

They're the BFG AT KO2's that have the never version out now. I really didnt want to have an oddball tire lol.

 

Nice! I'm getting ready to pick up a set of the AT KO2's in the next month or so to get rid of the shitty Dunlop's. How do you like them?

 

I wouldn't huck my ride until I've replaced it, but seems road worthy if it's not leaking.

 

If you don't replace it ya might consider rotating it to the rear (if it isn't already there). Losing a front tire at the wrong moment can really suck.
