Just looking for some advice on whether this tyre damage is OK. Sorry for the rubbish photos, best I can do at the moment.
The flap is about 25mm x10mm x (I measured it) 3mm deep. From reading up it looks like it is on the rim protector so might be OK. I definitely cannot see any cords when I pull the flap back and there are no bulges on the tyre. The tyre is a Continental SportContact 5 with a kerbing rib/rim protector and has only had 1500 miles on a 1 month old brand new car. The tyres are still full of rubber spikes and writing imprint all over the tread so I could really do without having to replace it
