Tyre tread damage. - Tron

Afternoon all,

Well, just spent my morning removing, cleaning and reassembling the rear drum brakes on my car as squeeling was becoming an issue.

However, when checking the tyres for damage - I have a very deep cut (about 1cm long) in the centre of the tread on one of them.

So deep I can see white...

...not good eh?

So it is now my task for this afternoon - yep, tyre shopping.

I was supposed to be and was so looking forward to going fishing too.
