Right,
Apart from starting it up and quickly running round the block a few times I haven't used the 5 much since Mallory. So i got it out tonight for a clean and check up. Before Mallory my Toyo's had probably done 100 miles, all are in good condition apart from the near side front which obviously took most of the punishment.
Is this tire fubar?

half the side wall is scrubbed off. Would it be OK to swap the front 2 tires so the wear was on the inside of the off side wheel, so the tyre wall didn't look rubbish, or should I just buy a new tire?
Just wondered what others would do?
