Was that a pothole....
...or debris on the road?
Whatever it was on the A82 around Dumbarton at about 6:55am (still pretty dark), it made a hell of a mess of my front near-side tyre (see picture). The only good part of this, is that there was very little tread left, the new tyres are on order and I was going to fit my winter wheels this weekend anyway.

That could be a structural failure rather than damage. It's separated over quite a length of tread and at a particularly stressed part of the tyre. Could be localised heat damage but I have heard reported that Vreds are susceptible to this type of failure
You could report it to VOSA accidents and defects as a potential safety risk. They'll want to be able to examine the tyre
