The 3mm anti puncture layer is now visible. Is this safe to ride while I try and get a warranty replacement??
Can I plug it or put something there?
Thanks!

Something like [Shoe Goo](https://eclecticproducts.com/product/shoe-goo/) can tide you over until a replacement arrives. Get a few thick layers on there and pack a flat kit in case you still puncture.
If you’re trying to get a warranty replacement I wouldn’t ride this. If you aren’t trying to get a warranty replacement I wouldn’t ride this. If you’re trying to reduce the capacity of your hippocampus I would send it 😉
I wouldn’t call that new. It looks like you aren’t using the side knobs. But that main rolling area looks like it’s not new
I see this is on some sort of e-bike. That also wears tires out quickly. Especially if you ride on pavement
So you’re riding an e-bike on pavement I guess with a mtb tire? And ripped a knob off? Not terribly surprising.Â
The next one back looks like it’s trying to rip too.
Hey man, I’m riding a fixed gear, and with that tires will wear out faster and will show wear marks. I’d ride worn out tires because of skidding, than use this on any of my bikes. That tire is ancient, an old stock that’s a ticking time bomb. Change it now.
Someone once called me one knob short of a Schwalbe. Now I understand what that meant.
Send it back to Schwalbe. It is such a high stress area no glue on rubber knob will last.
