Default Tire with a chunk missing

Hey so I found a good deal on some 18s, but was wondering if this was safe to drive on?

That's a huge chunk... definitely not. Don't cheap out on tires, as they will relate to your life.

phew glad I posted on here. I figured it was a little sketchy but didn't really know if it was really unsafe or not. I figured it wasn't that bad I could have a tire shop "fill" it or something, but I will just buy some nicer tires

Looks like it barely has any tread left too.

Realistically, it's very unlikely you'd ever have a problem. It seals further in.

But I wouldn't buy it or use it. Those tires are cheap anyway. Like really cheap. I used to buy them bc they were best bang for the buck. You could always buy the set, let the person know you aren't going to pay a lot, and replace one tire.
