As someone who works in the tire industry, I’d say that tire is dead, unfortunately. I’d recommend replacing as soon as possible and not to attempt driving on it much, as you can cause unseen damage to the inside and compromise the integrity further.

not that I necessarily agree, but probably because they made a post to “show off” instead of just enjoying it themselves. like, why share unless you want to get acknowledgement?

that’s at least where I think they may be coming from

would you be able to post a pic where it says the minimum psi on the tire? I work with tires and wheels and I have yet to see a tire with a range of psi like what you’re describing and I’m curious to see.

I would set the pressure to what is listed on the placard.

usually with an 8 ply passenger tire, you shouldn’t go below 20 psi.

oh also, the tire in the pic doesn’t look under inflated to me, but looks can be deceiving

they’re for the technicians mostly. basically safe maximum levels to get the tire installed on the wheel and other safety information. sometimes you really have to inflate them when installing to get the tire to seat properly

I had a partner who worked at Lush and they told me that someone will get selected as the head for a product department and they do get to use a little avatar creator thing to make those images. Something like the Mii or bitmoji creator things, as it was explained to me
