Does a small piece missing from a car tire have any impact?

Tire missing a piece of rubber has an impact. If the sidewall of the tire is peeling, it is recommended to replace it because the sidewall is the weakest part of the tire. If the fabric layer is exposed, it becomes quite dangerous and highly prone to a blowout. For safety reasons, it is generally advised to replace the tire with a new one. If the depth and width of the damage are less than 3 millimeters, it can be used as a spare tire. Below is the relevant information: Tread damage: Any damage to the tire should be taken seriously, as the tire bears all the weight of the vehicle, and a blowout poses significant risks. If a small piece of the tread pattern is missing, it is not a major issue and can be used for daily driving, but it is not recommended for highway speeds. Sidewall peeling: If the sidewall of the tire is peeling, replacement is recommended. The rubber on the sidewall is already thin, and losing a piece makes it even thinner, increasing the risk of a blowout from the damaged area.
