Make me think it might be :( :cry:
Nah you can get the nail repaired at any tyre place. But the little cuts... its hard to tell from the picture but wedge a little screwdriver in there and see how deep they are, if theyre just surface cuts then theyre fine, a tyre is about 10mm thick with no tread on it.

second pic looks fine, you'd have a lot of cuts on tyres anyway... First pic however, looks like a nail or screw snapped off? Pull it out and see if it starts leaking air... The tyre looks pretty worn out anyway, nearly at the limit, so dump it anyway if in doubt.
aye I have had plenty of tyres repaired from nails/screws... they are as good as new once repaired. costs about 15quid.

I've not pulled it out yet as I don't want to find out if it leaks - it still holds pressure fine so I'm hoping it's ok... LOL :lol:
As for being near the limit, nah, loads left on that yet - the right one in the pic below was what my last pair of fronts looked like ;) LoL
