BF tyre side wall cut - what effect will one tyre change have?
Good evening all you wonderful forum members.
I managed to cut a sidewall it seems, at Sandturion of all places since I was only mall crawling since then... The tire is stuffed, I asked an expert plumber (Manny) this morning and he agrees.
What negative effects can I expect if I only change one tire? For the noobs, the Prado is permanent AWD. The BFs have 10k kms on them.

Hi Rainier,
Spare is just a Goodyear, the sidewall cut is bad so the tire is a write off, thus I will sit with 3x basically new BFs on the vehicle and one cheapy as a spare

However I’m thinking of changing my shoes very soon to Grabbers and will have 5 x spare BF’s 30% to 40% tread - something to consider ?
If you want to

It's spelt Tyre. Not Tire or that word Leon used.
Santurion is a 4x4 Track, Johannes. Sharp rocks (unlike you lot).
Wessel buy two, toss the cut one and the normal spare...

Tire. If only pommies could read Afrikaans then it would’ve been a lot easier.Mad Manny wrote:It's spelt Tyre. Not Tire or that word Leon used.
