MoonerMade on June 7, 2025 4:57 pm Clean them up real good and then take pictures indoors and see if they will warranty it
psyentologists on June 7, 2025 5:00 pm That’s a strange place for a cut to emerge on a brand new tire. I wonder if someone hit it with their box cutter or something. Either way, return that stuff and do not ride it.

Seems like you must have hit the sidewall on something.
