The tech at the shop didn't blink twice about mounting up the front tire, but I realize I shouldn't trust them in the first place. I really appreciate the advice and I'll quest for finding a safer replacement (tire or rim). But for now, and my first ride around the block when I get her started. It's gonna be with this tire.
