I reckon that is the inner casing, the tyre is damaged.

Agree with Dave - definitely the inner tyre shroud from what I can see  :confused:

Yeah tyres a shot, when they change them make sure you get a proper alignment and balancing of all 4, as the wear looks a little uneven difficult to tell from part pic but not good

Is it driving ok?

It needs changing thats for sure, i take it the other tyres are fine? If so then search ebay for a 2nd hander, worth investing in 4 new ones if the rest are similar though

when you get the tyre off mate have a look inside see if there is something that looks like a shoe lace, i might be wrong but im sure it is chem cure. it sould only be used on agri tyres.
