Got into my car after work last night and noticed this :doh

Some of those rocks did look sharp so I'm not overly surprised, I must have driven home like that though and just didn't notice as she's holding air fine :augie

Whats the verdict do you think? Can the gash be fixed? (Like I said, there's no air leaks).

Even if I could just get her tidied up to keep as a spare, seems a waste of a tyre otherwise :nenau

...of course it could have been caused by a kerbstone but surely the ATs can stand up to kerb damage :nenau

Having just had a check on google I think it's goosed :doh I've got a couple barely used road tyres that were on the Troll when I bought her so I'll take the AT off the steel spare wheel, pop it on the alloy and get one of the road tyres put on the steel rim instead.
 
I did that to three tyres on the same morning once, i don't buy expensive tyres anymore - it makes your frightened to drive anywhere :eek:

I'm told it's called a "Major" repair but can be done. It's also done regularly on truck tyres. It would then make a good spare but I doubt the various costs involved would make it worthwhile unless you happen to live close to a major fixer upperer :eek:
