Tyre damage - advice please!

[Plumdog]

Hi there,

I'm hoping someone can give me some advice.. I've somehow damaged the side wall of my rear left hand side tyre (photo attached hopefully). God knows how it happened.
It's a rough wedge-like cut in the thickest bit of the rubber, and you can't see the cording (is that the tight phrase) underneith. Weirdly, there's no damage to the alloy.
Should I replace the tyre? If so, do I replace the rear pair (they're pretty new tyres I think).

Thanks in advance!
Graham

Thanks for the advice so far.. that's probably the best photo I can get tonight - the flash was on!
All you see underneath is black rubber.

I think I'll replace it..

There's definitely only rubber showing, but I'm still leaning towards replacement.. Thanks for all your comments!

Does anyone know how you get that kind of damage?

Decided to get it replaced. Stupid audi garage damaged the alloys.
