Hit a curb and noticed small crack on tire...

I agree with what the guys above have said...definitely get it checked out at a reputable tire shop...that's what I meant to say in my initial response, but was too quick to reply without finishing my thought (wouldn't trust the tire till someone in the know has a look at it).

Thanks for all the replies guys! I will definitely take it to a good shop and see what they say.

Gotta love the Z community!

That tire is fine. Its thick rubber that takes abuse day in and day out. That small little crack is nothing. If anything they will try and push a new tire on you to buy if you go to a tire shop. My bigger concern would be the RIM and how it has curb rash all over it now.
