To be fair I didnt check the tyres on this when I got the car. (Well I checked the outsides and middles but not the inner)

Looking at these photos however 3 tyres are all fine and have about 3mm of tread left.
This tyre however (Drivers side)

Looks like its very heavily worn on the inner side
Is this safe to drive on? I've got about 500 miles of driving to do over the weekend and alot of it will be spirited! and the last thing I want is for this to be dangerous.

If better pics are required I'll go back out see if I can get better ones..

Cheers

o/s/f tyre always wears quicker as it has the weight of the engine on it.

in theory if its only the inner tread that is worn you should be ok driving on it. i would get your camber checked if i was you though as that is prob whats scrubbing the tyre
