So L322 I bought the other day came with Overfinch wheels that not that keen on and took them off to swap and noticed that the inside of the tyre is damaged. Would this need a new tyre? Doesn't look great but want to know 100% before selling as it..

Trying to upload picture..

I’d of thought it was ‘buyer beware’ if you state sold as seen and / or show the damage photographically.

The problem would be if someone buys and you ship out without them seeing the damage first, as that’s unfair.

Either way, you’ve shared it on a forum, so if someone dies as a result, their family will know where to come

Just my 2p worth GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus
HAVE 1999 Discovery 2 GS 4.0 V8 - Silver - Off Road Toy
GONE 2013 L405 4.4 SDV8 Vogue. Black with Silver roofline and 22" s
HAVE 2015 Jaguar XF.

Absolutely no chance I would try and hide the damage. It was more a case of its its 100% clear it will need a new tyre I will buy one and not even bother selling it as is..

that one is knackered....yes you do need a new tyre and i would inspect the wheel inside and out....

I think you will find that any damage to the side wall will an MOT fail so dangerous?

Ahhh a bit of sticks like sh#t will sort that

Here's the scenario:- You're driving down the Motorway, that Tyre deflates rapidly causing you to loose control. The Vehicle flips & impacts another vehicle killing you & the other family in that car
Answer your question, Bin it

Not strictly an mot failure unless cords are visible or deep enough to reach cords (mainly down to tester discretion) Think about tyres with the thicker rim protectors.. see many like this when mot testing and many other items that you would think are failable but are not.. not saying that i would drive with that tyre though... sell it as a wheel with a free knackered tyre that WILL need changing and then it is down to the buyer.. 2004 td6 l322 - gone
Now 2007 tdv8 l322

New tyre it is then.. Lots of interesting comments from people that don't really read original post and make up scenarios..

Its annoying as it has over 8mm of tread left and it was caused by simply trying to edge slowly up a kerb when I was already on it 50/50, offside wheel was too close to the kerb and I turned into it when I should have reversed back and used the drop-down.

I wouldn't drive on it thats for sure!!!

New tyre ordered !!

Slightly off topic but Ramsden78, are those Overfinch Olympus wheels like in this video?



In any case, I have a set of these Overfinch 20" Olympus wheels and am not really crazy about them either so I just use them as one of my dedicated set of winters! 2010 RR SC
2007 RR SC

Yes they are OF Olympus but 22". I am gutted as they are 99% perfect on the front but a couple of marks on the rear that I did.

I was avoiding naming the wheels as didn't want anyone to think trying to sell them but not sure if I will sell them after all..
