Dead tyre or not

Does this mean a dead tyre (dent in the side, just below the rim) ?

I would say it's fine also. It's not all that deep.

Rule of thumb is that if you can see any of the tyres internal ribbing then it is dead - this looks ok to me. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

just because its a "rim protector" doesnt mean that if it is damaged then you are able to continue to drive on it. Its designed to protect the alloy which is generally more expensive than the tyre. to damage it this badly could mean hidden damage

personally any significant damage to the sidewall would write it off...end of the day its down to personal choice, but remember your personal choice shouldnt be forced on your passengers

Exactly what I meant. Difficult to know if this is superficial damage or not. 2010 TDV6 3.0 HSE Santorini Black Tan Full Leather
