What is the consensus of opinion on Gatorskin sidewall ‘damage’?
I think I read somewhere that the pattern of threads is only cosmetic so not to worry if they get torn etc?
And I don’t care if you think they’re shit or don’t grip or are heavy.

Stop riding on the sidewalk, it's for pedestrians.
the pattern of threads is only cosmetic
It's not cosmetic, but it's not essential to the pressure retaining structure, it's just a supplementary armour layer to protect the structural threads.
