Will this tyre pass MOT?

[Crybert]

Before I start this is previous owner damage?

Just wondering if this will pass the mot

Loathed to buy a new tyre when all the tyres are sitting on 7mm and are all matching.

Dunno it looks a bit tired.

But yes I reckon it would.

It’s a 2018 tyre with 7mm tread. Hate having advisories/issues. Also the rules seem a bit vague on this kind of damage

should be fine it's only extra rubber that acts as rim protector. Not that it helped ?

 

[Krarl]

Yes

That's an 'anti-kerbing' strip that's ONLY job is protect your wheels... it obviously failed on this occasion??

 

[Crybert]

Cheers guys. If I had to change it I was gonna buy 4 new Michelin ps4s?

Put the money into getting those wheels sorted!??

Pass. I’ve been using the guy for years and always a top job

As long as they come out nice and last a while then its Bob on

The tester will only advise that tyre as the cut isn't deep enough to expose the cord which would be a fail.
