Peel it back, if you can see canvas yes.

 

[Hammock123]

Canvas?

 

[MartinR]

Depends on the tester. Some might fail it some may give an advisory.

 

[scotty2hotty81]

Yes.

As above, if you see the structure of the tyre it fails. And assuming it hasn't developed a bulge.

 

[Hammock123]

Okay thanks! I'll have a look tomorrow see if I can.. Hate that my MOT is in January!

 

[M.C..]

if that was mine I would change it asap as I would not like to be driving around with a split sidewall regardless of if it will pass a MOT or not.

Having had a blowout from something similar i would change it too. Not worth the chance mate.

Parking cuts will not fail an mot , that area of the tyre is normally just a rim protector to serve as a buffer to rim damage , most garages would glue that down rather than stick a new tyre on.

if you have a bulge then the structure of the carcass is damaged and you risk a blowout something very different to a cut , i very much doubt you would get a blowout from a cut you do risk it seriously from a bulge .


changing it is up to you , i have managed a cut like that on a few week old tyre before , it lasted fine for another 40k after glueing the flap down .



mot testers rules state cut no more than 25mm , and no cord showing
