I’m fairly certain this was caused by a skid as the result of an emergency stop.

I’m thinking it’s bin time, but would be interested to know of any bodges that people use to get a few more miles out of tyres in this condition.

The rest of the tyre looks much better than this section.

Bin it if it went to the chords after one skid.

No! Straight in the bin. TBH that wear pattern looks a little too uniform for skid damage, almost like that tyre has done some turbo time? Eitherway it has had it's day on the road.....

Never used on the turbo. Guesstimate 90% road (a lot of that in an urban environment, so lots of braking and accelerating), 10% gentle off road.

Even I would bin that, and my normal useability criteria simply requires a tyre to hold air, not shed lumps of rubber, and not have the canvas showing!
