Would you ride with this tire with cuts in the sidewall? I have a next to unused GP5000 road tire, 25mm, which unfortunately has three cuts in the sidewall. I would like to ask, if it these constitutes a safety problem - or if they rather are to be looked upon like regular cuts in the tread. What is the verdict: dead or not dead? Thanks, Morten ![enter image description here]( ![enter image description here](

I would not ride that tyre. Pretty sure I can see tube in the second photo, and that's asking for a sudden blowout.

You might choose to put a boot/patch on the inside of the tyre, JUST TO GET HOME.

You might boot it and use on an _indoor_ trainer tyre only. Might be okay on rollers, would make a great front-wheel tyre for a direct-drive trainer (ie, the wheel that doesn't turn at all.)

I certainly would not choose to ride on the road with that ever.
