Did you clean the area around the cut? Looks like a rim pinch. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.Taz1200 said:I had the Mitas E07 Dakar on my Vstrom and while on a trip noticed this cut in the sidewall . I rode about 300 miles home from VT like this at a slowed pace and it held air but was definitely a concern. The minimal off roading I did was just fire road stuff, and was not in any areas where I was concerned about someone slicing the tire the sidewalks are strong so don't know if it could have just split, but figured I would post to keep an eye on them. I have run multiple sets and would like to think this was just an isolated case and plan on running them again on my new Tenere....
