I'd zap that photo back to the folks in Walnut Creek. They could
tell you if they had a bad run, or if they want that one back so they
can get some credit. Especially if they are new, recently received
tires.
OTOH - if I had to run 'em, I probably would - it's hard to tell the
depth of that split, and what it will do when everything is pumped up
to pressure. If it's a deep split, it's above the bead, so it should
not blow there. But, sidewalls have the least amount of thickness. My
guess is that is the overlapped casing, and the sidewall didn't quite
have enough material to completely cover it. The casing wraps up from
underneath, over the bead, so I think you are looking at the end of
the material.
hope that helps,
- Jim

New tire, never mounted. Is this normal? Do yours do this?
