If a tire shows signs of cuts, what is the required action?

When a tire exhibits signs of cuts, the safest and most appropriate action is to replace the tire. Cuts can compromise the structural integrity of the tire, leading to potential failures while driving, which can result in loss of control and increase the risk of accidents. Therefore, for the sake of safety, a tire with cuts is typically deemed unserviceable and should not be repaired or continued to be used.

In the context of tire maintenance and inspection, it's important to prioritize the safety of the vehicle's occupants and others on the road. Unlike minor imperfections or surface nicks that might be acceptable or repairable, cuts can indicate deeper damage that might not be visible but could affect the tire's performance and reliability. Hence, replacement is the best course of action when cuts are present.
