A bit of scrubbing would be ok, any small or big nicks are a no no.

pretty sure a roadworthy tyre has no cuts or bulges. so the VOSA van could fine you for them or even a police officer in a bad mood. i wouldn't risk it, even though i've just read you have taken them back anyway !

those tyres look dangerous to me personally - especially on a high performance car. Could fit them but worth the risk ?
