Tyre Cord Exposed
Discussion
Hi, I'm new to the forum so first I'd like to thank anyone that takes the time to read my post!
I've recently had my car in with the main dealer to get the cambelt and water pump replaced. As main dealers always like to do they came up with a lot of other "issues" they wanted to fix and charge big prices for. Such as £50 to clear a partially blocked windscreen washer jet that I managed to clear in 30 seconds with my finger nail!
Anyway one issue they brought up has me a little more concerned, there is slight damage to two of my tyres where the nick on the tyre can be peeled back to show cord. Both tyres have plenty thread left (4.5mm & 5mm) so I don't want to change unless necessary. I've uploaded pictures I have of the cords below, hopefully they're clear enough. I'd be grateful if anyone with more experience could give their opinion on the tyres and if they need to be changed.
