If you are running a quick pace (hopefully not on the street) I would recommend swapping them out. If you are strictly commuting it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Im starting to do track soon, but yes I run them pretty hard in the canyon right now My co worker says to dump them and get a new tire... Guess I may have to buy a new tire soon before I do any canyon runs


Do you think part of the reason I went down last week is because the tire was like this? (its blue on the side I went down on....)
