Got three MX33s with one ride on them from someone who didn’t like them. The only problem is some of the beads are slightly chewed (No wires are torn, not even visible on the good ones). This is the worst out of the three, with the best one maybe having an inch of the wear in only one spot. Would it be okay to mount one of the better ones? Or would I have more problems down the road? Don’t really want to trash them since the knobs are pretty much brand new.

as a rule of thumb we should never agree on vital... therefore insert smart ass comment or opposing comment here like... no way those will disintegrate or ruin your wheel bearings due to the unbalanced bead!!!

but... nah yeah just run them suckers!!!

When I was a teenager most of my new tires looked like this by the time I got them mounted Silly

Thanks for the reassurance everyone! I'll go ahead and mount the cleanest one now and keep the others around for when I need them, anything special I need to do when mounting to not hurt the bead further?

Full time college student haha. It was either spend money this week on a new tire and save again for a top end or run these lightly used tires and order a top end so I can ride next weekend too.
