Agree with SP about just replacing. Not worth taking the chance of something happening and cause you to have an accident. It's not like you are driving a big tank or something. Plus if you have the extended warranty they will cover it under the warranty. I had a nail in my rear tire right after I bought the bike and they replaced it under the extended warranty.

I have to go with the pup here. I would ride over to DD and replace it with a new RG Ultra.

If it was me I would pull it out and if it did not leak I would ride it. But that is just me.

I think I would replace that, Tires are everything on a bike and not an area to skimp on.
