The shop isn't risking their life. You are. The shop isn't ignoring advice. You are. The shop isn't being overly defensive. You are.
I hope you get it sorted, and I hope you continue to learn about how to properly ride, maintain, and enjoy your bike.

the "scary" sound was not my tire it was 9k RPMs which has been confirmed to be wind hitting my helmet in a weird way. I was riding my bike because when I first posted it most of the people said it "didn't look bad" and I should "ride it to the end of its life" the only one who said he wouldn't ride on it was csmith. Again, I am trying to figure things out. yes it was rubbing but I thought all of it had been rubbed off, didnt expect it to expand MORE than what it already did. That is the difference between bias ply and radial tires, which is it was a radial tire it might not have happened (I am guessing)
