Is this tyre dangerous?



  182
had the car jacked up today and noticed this :( should I not drive the car untill its sorted? The other side is starting to go too, would that need replacing or would wheel alignment save it?

Nick-able tyre that... 3 points and a fine? i believe per tyre...

As said you need new tyres ASAP (plod wise) and the wheel alignment corrected,

I know :( didnt expect to be paying out for new tyres and cant really afford till next week, ill park the clio up untill then
 
Is it both? put your spare tyre on? as long as the other 3 have legal tyre tread on the 3 quarters of the breath of the tyre (i believe that's how its worded) basically tread from left-middle-right then you'l be alright... if its 2 like that then its a risk on the road.

edit: ignore me i forgot your car doesn't have a spare tyre!

thats after i swapped them side to side too! get your alignment double checked fella, that issue with the camber bolt **** up didnt help, i might've put a bit too much toe on it too, you been keeping an eye on tyre pressure?

the other tyre has wear on the same place and the tread is just about visable, so wearing down fast, I dont have a spare as its a 182. Cheers anyways I wont be driving it again untill its sorted!

Yea checked pressure on the way home after you said, each tyre was maybe 1-2 out

ill start again LOL

drivers side had the dodgy camber bolt which you had replaced by your local garage (incorrectly fitted) hence dodgy camber hence worn tyre

i then sorted camber again when you had the rad done, i swapped front tyres side to side

got it?

haha ill get there ;) just confused as both front tyres are now worn, ill get the alignment look at with some new tyres
