I have a tire question. I have a 00 Explorer and it came stock with Dunlop tires. I only have about 100 miles on them and I noticed what appeared to be a crack in the sidewall of the left rear. It looks like something got pushed into it real hard. My other ATV friends have told me to "quit worrying about it" and have shown me their tires with similar cuts and bruises. My question is...DO I need to worry about this? I was going to pull the tire and patch it on the inside. I just don't want to be way back in the woods somewhere and have a tire bust on me. Thanks.
