As the title says, I found a what feels like a shallow slice on my Specialized Fast Trak Control T5 rear tire. The cut is about 3/4 inches (1.9 cm) of length with a tiny puncture in the middle. Wasn’t a problem before with a tube, but I noticed the leak while doing the tubeless conversion. The sealant stopped the leak fairly quickly but I don’t know if this is something that would compromise the tire’s structure in any way. Is this safe to ride or time for a new one?

Boot it and you’ll probably be good or roll the dice…
Depends how you ride.
No you’ll die
Forget about it
Boot the inside and send it.
Safe yes, no guarantees it won’t open up more. I’ve ridden worse. Carry a tube.
