Kerbed wheel- cut in rim protector, does it matter?
Discussion
Hi guys, trying to mount a big kerb parking up and I've managed to catch my alloy and cut the tyre in the process! (Wheels were immaculate so not pleased with myself).
My tyres have the rim protector edge to them but the flap seems quite deep; I want to say it's fine and stick the flap down and soldier on with it but I do hundreds of miles of motorway each week at a decent pace, so don't fancy a blowout and facing the Armco. What do you guys think?
To note I've quickly touched in the alloy somewhat, silver and black contrasts a lot

What the others have said.
Check there is no cord showing, check the tyre isn't deflating and super glue the flap shut.
We've had one like that in one of the fronts of the MPS for best part of a year. It passed an MOT with it as well (and not by being missed, the guy checked it, pulled it open to check it wasn't through to the cord and everything).

My friend accidentally caught a tyre on a hire car in Jersey.
My friend also liked to go to pound shops and he thought their superglue to be well priced so he bought some. He also likes to keep his black shoes polished and shiny so he decided to spend £2.
Any way in the hotel car that evening he seemed to find a use for both products.
My friend also likes piston heads so he reminded me of this story but he did say that useless underpowered 208 tyre wasn't as bad as this one!
