Wha????  That's practically brand new!  ;D
Any taxi drivers need a nearly new tyre? TDs Octavia has wheels that those should fit :y (especially considering his garage pays no attention to tyre sizing ;D)

Hole could be a manufacturing defect... but you've a job on to explain how that cause the tyre edge to fall off :-\

Is that perhaps where it,s once been plugged. . . And the plugs now come out?

Yes I did ask him if it had been repaired... But an answer was not forthcoming.

Looks like an air bubble got in when it was molded to me.

Yep - agreed :y  Seen that defect before, although that's quite a large void, possibly not due to air but a contaminant when moulded.

...so its got bigger as the tread wore down to reveal more of the air pocket...? Probably been visible for a good 3 or 4 mill of the the previously worn away tread ?
