Is this safe?

[NolanFJ60]

Don't mind the white-its just chalk. What we have is a slight separation of the rubber from the bead and wire inside is slightly rusted. A local tire shop wouldn't mount it for liability sake but what do you think? Would it be safe or just an issue of keeping pressure inside?

I would not mount that tire.

Grease her up real good and put her on. Just a small place where the tire machine tore. Shouldn't hurt a thing.

What you have is an area of potential separation of sidewall belts. Chances are it could last for years and not get worse. Or it could allow air to get up into the sidewall and .... at highways speeds a sidewall blowout can be pretty damaging.

The damage may not be too extreme but the fact that it is in there, there's a possibility of getting into a big problem.

I'd run it.
