    Just noticed a small cut on the tyre of my car.

    I've attached a picture.

    Is it ok to drive with or what do ye think? It's quite small, I tried to put my key in a bit to see if it was a big tear but the key didn't really go in.

    Thanks

    Looks grand. Unless you start loosing tyre pressure I wouldn't worry about it.

    Get it repaired or replace the tyre before it gets worse

    Any idea on the age of the tyre? Myself I wouldn't risk doing over 50kph with it as it is.

    Uneven tyre wear on the outter edge. Get a wheel alignment done too.

    Agree, if it's not losing pressure that little nick won't do any harm.

    Once no leak or bulge develops it wouldn't bother me anyway.

    Not sure tbh, I notice it's wearing a bit on the outside alright, the rest of the tyre has great thread, I'll get a wheel alignment done and hopefully that'll sort it out.
