Hey chaps for my bikes tire is Bald and the tread in the middle has dissapeared but i have this monster.

The Brand is Maxxis and it DOES NOT have not for road use on it so will it pass a mot? it's the same size as my current (Which helps)

I don't think a tyre with damage on the side wall will pass an MOT, sorry.

Although a second glance suggests that might not be visible when it's mounted.

I wouldn't fancy riding on it though.

Even if it passed the MOT would you want to ride on it?

Busted sidewall and questionable on-road legality - I'd probably buy a new one tbh.

Is it a tubed tyre?
