Rear tire sidewall slice not leaking air

[JohnnyG]

Looks more like a slice than a pinch, but it is not leaking air.

The tires have about a 1000 miles on them. I am not sure if I should replace the tire and if I do, can I just replace the rear tire with the slice or would I need to replace both?

The longer term plan is to go to offset wheels and 33" tires. But I was going to wait until I needed to replace the tires.

Another question: how long to tires last?

Thanks

Depends how bad the slice is.How long the tires last Depends on what terrain and driving habits.

Bring a spare or a GlueTread sidewall patch so you don't get stranded. Depending on how deep it is, it's certainly a weak point and could burst. You could even be proactive and put the sidewall patch on it now. That might buy you enough time until you're ready to replace with 33s.
