      I’ve ridden worse… You could patch it I think?

      Doesn’t seem like you’re running tubeless.

      There are patches for the inside of the tire. Without one of those, it’s questionable

      Yes I too have had 5000s a shockingly small amount of time and got tons of these cuts, put a patch on the inside just to be sure. They are both amazing and absolutely shit at the same time these tires

      I’ve ridden worse for long distances. If you’re using tubes I’d just reinforce the inside of the tire with a boot/patch under the cut and pay attention to it/watch to see if it gets bigger.

      If it gets much longer or bigger than that I’d start to consider replacing.

      Its fine as long as you don’t see more than 2 cut threads. After 2 cut threads you must patch the inside. I’ve ridden many thousands of miles with a patches on the inside of the tire on the GP5Ks.

      Rema makes a “tubeless” tire patch specifically intended for the inside of tires that includes fiber-reinforced patcheds. That’s probably what I’d suggest.
