Trust the smart thing to do is get a new one...

Trouble is I was hoping to get wider tyres in time. Opposit tyre has 3500 miles on it. All the other tyres just a bit more.

Damn it. Cursing my rotten driving. 2022 P440e AB

My local tyre fitter did replacements @ £195, but that was then... maybe they are generally more expensive now.

Get them checked out by a specialist, these could still be ok for a while. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Stornoway Grey

I had MUCH worse damage than that on ALL FOUR tyres after I took my Supercharged offroading in Scotland.

I didn't bother replacing the tyres as the cuts are superficial to the surface, nothing got deep enough to the braiding or belting of the tyre.

I did at least anouter 10,000 miles with no problems at all. Save your money! L319 D4 HSE

I'd say its a cheap insurance policy if you buy a new tyre, especially if its a front one.

Yeah. one can see the edge of the braiding if you peel the gash back.

I got the car for Junior's (10 weeks old today) protection. So it's getting swapped out tomorrow.

If anyone wants this tyre, you can have it FOC. 2022 P440e AB

2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange

Heh, I also have many trouble-free miles on a tire with about 4x as much sidewall missing. Those Contis suck....
