what would be the technical term for this sidewall apart from f**ked?



my brother went to see a megane 225 this afternoon and unfortunately i was working so couldn't go with him. i told him the things to look out for and as the tyres are 18's check them over as they will obviously be expensive to replace. just asked him what the tyres were like on it and he showed me that picture. my brother hadn't noticed the damage at the time so needs to get on the phone first thing tomorrow to get them to sort it as he has put a deposit on it and picks it up sunday.

what should i tell him to say on the phone?

I'm sure it's ok & it's not a MOT failure ...but common sense would tell you on a quick car like that ....no way would I drive with a tyre cut & slightly distorted on the sidewall like that ....never worth it ....you don't mess about with damaged tyres unless your a fool !!!!!

Just my view

PS ....I would even get the tyre taken off & the rim checked out ...that's had a fair impact in several places & distorted in a couple places ?

Remember no two cuts are ever the same !!!!!!!!!!

If the inner cords are not damaged then it not an issue, i have driven tyres with the same damage for 10K miles never had a blowout.
