Here's a 'not so good' picture of the damage, and I don't think that I did that rolling over a concrete slab. The rear tire has no damage. Regardless, I replaced both. If you need tire help, Southwest Tire in Houston treated me fairly and professionally. Total bill for two new G114, removing, breaking down, mounting two tires and installing balancing beads, installing two, switch one, torque to 150 and air to 100 was $860. Normal, I could not have bought 2 new tires for that amount. The only issue was the tech wanted to air gun my lug nuts. He said 3 tightens would do it. I asked about a torque wrench and he didn't have one. I smiled, and said, "I Do". I called the office, and he said most emergency highway repairs just wanted to get on the road in a hurry and didn't worry about it. I said ok, but some of us do. Anyway, I'm a happy camper.
