Get my Norco sight carbon the other day, and I'm out riding around the the neighborhood yesterday setting things up, and such. I jump off the curb and land in a patch of sharpish rock pebbles, and my 90$ tubeless snakeskin rear schwable racing ralph starts gushing sealant everywhere, as there is a 3-4mm gash through the middle of the tire, near the center tread. These rocks are no more than an inch in diameter, and had some edges to them, but geez, I was amazed that one took out the tire. The gap was finally sealed, but I don't think it's safe to ride the tire anymore.
Is it ok to ride with a small 3-4mm gash in the middle of a tire if it is sealed up by stan's? I'd worry that with a large amount of pressure from a jump or drop, it would burst open.
Does anyone else have similar experience with this 90$ racing ralph tubeless Snakeskin tire? Is it weak sauce, or did I just have the worst luck ever here? This bike has only been on one proper off road ride. Any chance for the tire to be warrantied?
