Tire question.
Maybe someone can give me some advise. Last week I ran over something while turning right at a corner. The bike slid over to the left, which I believe put a cut across the tire. It doesn't seem too deep. Does it need to be replaced now?

Your first post I would have said replace it. After posting the pic it is barely cut into the surface of the tire. I would ride on but keep an eye on it.

By the look of it, its "well ridden" - peace of mind - by a new Elite 3 (judging by the tread pattern thats the tire?) Looks like the tire did its job by keeping you upright during the incident.
Spend the $200 and be done with it mate.
