This weekend I sliced the sidewall of my front right tire and I'm wondering if it's now junk. The tire is a 245/75R-16 BFG AT KO. The cut is about a 1/16th of an inch deep (maybe a fraction more)and runs pretty much the width of the sidewall. It's holding air fine and I had to drive home on it about 50 miles.

Since this is a family SUV as well, I just want to make sure the the tire is not going to let loose on freeway with the wife/kids on board.

Get a new tire? Keep the one I have? Please let me know what your thoughts are and why. Thanks in advance for you help. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
