Give Avon themselves a call and explain what you've found. They may ask to see the tyre back at their factory for a proper evaluation.
You don't know unless you try |

I wouldn't want to be riding on a tyre that has snapped cords showing through the rubber. Replace it and send the old tyre back to Avon for evaluation and see if they send anything back. I reckon you've damaged the carcass by riding over something nasty that's been bad enough to do just that amount of damage to just that area. It doesn't appear to be damaged anywhere else, and the tyre is just about knacked so don't count on getting a freebie.

Apart from the obvious safety aspect the tyre is illegal with that damage on it.Three points and up to £1000 fine IIRC.

Who did you send the email to to?
Might not get much of a response for a couple of weeks as most of us are out on the shut down. |
