That's the threads holding the tire together, they are embedded in the tire for a reason, if you hit those at speed, it could catastrophically fail, as in perforate and blow.

Oh it's fine, that's a perfectly healthy tire. Absolutely not going to get the rider killed. Trust me, I'm a complete stranger on the internet.

Well it's a KTM bike, so yes, I'd say it's dangerous

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. Replace tire plz.

Yes, definitely. You need new tires. Do not ride like that.
