Was installing a new tire and noticed a bit of damage on the inside of the bead.


Is it safe to run or junk it?

Run it. I’ve ran ones way more chewed than that with no problems.

If that tire is new, there shouldn't be any damage to it at all, unless you did it with your tire irons trying to install it.
