Tyre wear/damage?

I've just gone to check my tyres after a longer than usual 'break' and have noticed the wear/damage in the attached photos. These are the OEM Pirelli P Zero in 245/45 R20 103 V guise.

Re: Dashcam - Again!

Mine is a MY21 and it has the radar unit in the front grille. I've had it for over 12 months and not had any issues in any season.

Be aware they have 'activate by' dates and if you get old stock it may expire beforehand.
