Somebody has worn it out. Buy a new one. Or two.

Had I properly worn them out I could understand, but these aren't even down to the wear markers...   ...on that bit, anyway (the edges are BF'd, proper clown car tyres ::))

I take it that's not a repair?

Can only presume its been driven over something sharp and round.

Are those cords inside?

Just noticed that line in the block to the left as well.

Ah well, no longer on the car, was wondering if that explained the unsatisfactory handling traits.

Looks like another tyre you have knackered worn out TB! :P :P :P ;D ;D ;D

Joking aside, that tread appears to be nearing the end of it's life, and even worn more across the crown as though run on the wrong tyre pressure. ::) ::) ::) ::)

Just buy a new set for your next 10,000 miles!! :D :D :D ;)

Oh, yes, LZ, that's well and truly shagged, and not before time, hopeless things. Hence they are not on the car any more ;). Sadly, its not so simple as pressures - the cure would be to either drive like tunnie, or nuke Milton Keynes...

Ah yes, of course, the ROUNDABOUTS!! :o :o :o :o :o

Mind you if you take them at 50mph that could account for your rapid tyre wear................or is it the brand!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
