Hey all... I had a rear passenger side flat on my 2006 Liberty yesterday. I was headed out to work and drive approx 2000 feet on the rim before realizing it and went back home. I used fix a flat and took it to a tire shop and had it patched for a small nail. My concern is the sidewall has a section that the black rubber wore off and is showing the under-layer. It is not deep at all just the black rubber was rubbed off. Is this significant for a chance of a blowout? Or just cosmetic?
I took a few pics. One is when I discovered the flat. And a few others tonight showing the area that is scraped. My phone’s camera isn’t the greatest but I tried to get close ups.
I am surprised the tire tech that repaired the flat did not mention the scraping!
