Default Small crack in tyre.

I have a small crack in my tyre it's 1cm in length and 1/2 mm in width. Wondering if this is a problem that needs fixing or am I just worrying over nothing. Sorry about the large image

Cheers
Ste.

How deep is it?
If its just a surface cut I wouldnt bother with it.

That just looks like a small cut in the tread and nothing to worry about unless it has penetrated the casing.

Cheers

It is only in the tread, so i'll just leave it be.

Just blame all the cr*ap on the road the councils refuse to sweep up.
Its a common problem and nothing to worry about.
Probably picked up a piece of glass and then lost it again.
It does not look serious.

Looks harmless, I take it the tyre is holding its pressure?
