Just my luck, i hate taxi drivers.



Just been out to the cash point on my way back a taxi coming the other way is overtaking a cyclist (very narrow winding road), I move over to prevent wing mirror contact and due to the corner and darkness clip the curb. Result being a shaving off the side off my brand new toyo and a kerbing to my new alloys. Im hoping the tyre isn't A, now illegal, B, dangerous. Bit pissed off but taxi drivers seem to think they own the road, nothing on Middos incident though. No unusual vibrations from the wheel, hopefully its ok.
 
I ve just had a closer look and it appears there is a chunk aout 5cm long missing from the sidewall of the tyre, maybe 0.5cm deep. Is this illegal, im thinking maybe I should just get a new tyre even though this one has only done 1000miles.....

Completely illegal, get a new one.

You don't want the sidewall blowing out when you're driving and causing more damage.

Cheers mate will get a new one sorted tommorow, wasn't quite sure where I stood with the law and that. The Toyos are quite cheap anyway, but it sure isn't what the gf is expecting for her birthday :D

Yep...complete a**holes

Always speeding in 30 zones and behaving like they own the road...I never let them out at junctions etc.
