a auto repairing question

[nn2000]

There is a crack on the tire. Is it necessary to replace with a new one? The crack has been there for more than a month but I have no problem driving the car. But now it seems like the crack is bigger than before.

I might as well say it before someone else does.

Wrong forum. Goto the Garage section. http://forums.anandtech.com/ca...tid=85&flcache=8824795

Been said, but I'll say it again, wrong forum.

Crack in the tire? I looked at the picture twice and the tire looks fine. Your hubcap is cracked, but you know you can just take it off if the look bothers you, right? You've got plain metal wheels, not fancy rims; that's just an aesthetic plastic cover.

Sometimes you wonder whether some people should be allowed to own cars 😛

LOL! Thanks for saying it for me...

Cirbs are for parking NEXT TO, not driving into...

My wife curbed one of the Expedition wheels when it was brand new...fortunately, it didn't damage the wheel, just scuffed the sidewall.

But I was nice, (and smart) I didn't rant and rave about it. I know that sooner or later, I'll fuck up somewhere too...😀

Like the others, I don't see a tire crack but your wheel cover has seen better days.

Tire is fine. It does in fact, look like it just a cracked
plastic wheel cover.
