you've got a few inches of contact with the ground, at speeds up to 150 mph.
Risk a blow out and total your bike cause of a weak spot? ever hear the phrase "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link"? |

Btw sometimes the repair is stronger than the original part. A weld is stronger than the steel it holds together. |

I'm not saying the tire will blow out, per say, but it has a greater risk of failing in any way than that of an unscathed tire. Just playing devils advocate here. |
