Does this tire look safe?

Does this look like a useable tire?

Sure, if you want to paint it white and plant flowers in it...

That's kinda my thought as well

How old is it? How deep are the cuts? It MAY be ok for a show car, not for ANY performance use, even a burnout.

I had a tire with cuts in the sidewall, similar to what you are showing . . . and it was almost a new tire. No way was I going to take a chance on the highway . . . spend the $$ for new tire.

You know the answer...Or you wouldn't be asking if it was safe...Even if someone said to run it would you ?? What cut into it on the backside ???

Probably the fender lip. Then the person swapped the tire on the rim to hide the cuts.

My guess is the inner wheel well. I inquired to buy and the pic I got was this one. Said was only driven for a block.

After it was remounted.
Sad thing is someone will buy it,and probably try to use it, or put it on a car for sale.

Any time your in doubt about safety items on our cars, change it out or do without
You knew that already, correct

Probably usable as a roller if you're sending the car to a paint booth.
I wouldn't drive on it though.
