Advice pls, can I still use those?

[alessandro]

Took the tyres off my old wheels today, got home and discovered that one of the tyres got damaged during the removal.

Those are/were going to be my winter tyres but, can I still use them?

Ask a pro.

if you could see my gfs car tyre then youd be worried. (it was me that kerbed it lol- hate driving in edinburgh)

 

as long as you can see the metal you should be fine.

I would replace it just to be on the safe side mate. Skimping on a tyre is not worth if it blows on you at 70mph on the motorway.

id want some heavy discount on a new tyre from who ever removed it if you expressed you wanted to keep them,

 

its a little hard to tell from that pic bend the side wall around alot make sure its not deeper then it appears and no cords are showing e.c.t (where it sits on the rim and meets the side wall)

Any damage to the sidewall makes them illegal, not that its likely you would get caught. If your asking the question its probably worth getting a replacement as it will always play on your mind, look on ebay for the same tyre with roughly the same tread, thats what i did.
