Car tyre. Damaged. Is it safe to drive?
the damage penetrates the tread of the tyre, and goes to about -1mm.
it is the front left tyre of a corsa b. 165/70 r13.
also, where else can I find out more information. Should I post on other forums? or take it to a garage? fix it with glue? swap the tyre to the back?

Doesn't seem too bad, if it holds air it should be fine but I'd use it as a spare and get another for peace of mind
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Looking at the pic i wud agree with raymod use it as a rear tyre as it would get less strain on it
If it ain't green and black send it back

nothing wrong with that tbh, its just the tread, just took the winter tires off my van and the whole inside edge of both tires are alot worse than that lol
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts
Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

Swap the wheels round so that its on the inside and nobody will ever see it
