    Is this tyre buggered?

    In my ongoing quest to provide Goodyear shareholders with increasing revenue, it seems to my untrained eye I might have buggered another tyre.

    It's 3 to 4mm deep at the ugly looking bit.

    Sage advice and witty comments are welcome.

    If it's not deeper than the tread block then there is probably no need to worry.

    Legally speaking, no, it won't pass; practically, should be good for a few more thousand kilometres.

    I'm always cutting tyres here. I just stick a sleeve in side the case and run it on the rear if posible. If bad use as a spare.

    I've had a tyre fail once.

    Really don't want to do that again.
