So, i recently installed some Firehawk Indy 500's on my MK6 and im in love with them. The only downside is that, since im lowered and on 17's, im subject to a lil fender rub now and again. Today i noticed that there was a small bit of wear on a portion of the tread, where the rubber was flaky, but it wasnt peeling or very deep, maybe 1/16" deep in comparison to the rest of the tire.
After some inspection i noticed that my fender was bent down at a spot, not really sharp, just protruding, like someone had wedged it the opposite way. I bent it back up, but my real concern is whether or not this tire is toast or if it'll wear evenly eventually.
Is this tire safe to drive on? It isnt on the sidewall, it's on the outside tread right before it turns down to meet the sidewall. Would post pictures but its kinda hard to capture without decent contrast and it's a cloudy day.
