This happened at my last one, I must have slipped out into the concrete and nicked it, it opened up a little on the next session, the tyre is about 70% done. I wonder if she will be right for another day out?

If its just on the tread blocks and not to the core I'd probably toss it on the rear and go for it, but you know its a risk.

I would keep it on the front. Front blow out is much easier to control than a rear blow out.


However, I would not run that tire. Maybe for autocross, but not a track day.
