Should I replace this tyre

[daveinlim]

Doing a little check over on the bike and saw a stone bedded in the front tyre. 

There's good amount of thread and the tyres not squared off. The lighting make it look a bit square. The hole is about 1.5 or 2mm deep 

 

Should I have this looked at or potentially replaced. Or am I being a bit paranoid.

I assume you mean 1.5 or 2.0mm rather than metres. In which case that's less than the tread pattern depth. So long as it's in the treaded area that should not be a problem....but as above, a picture would help.

You will be surprised how thick tyres are!

Its fine. I used to fret over these too.

Congratulations, you have installed a new wear indicator in your tyre. When it disappears it's time to change your tyre.

Just remember they are designed to roll along the road picking up the odd stone your not.

I wouldn't worry about the tyre.

Thanks everyone.

Tyre will stay put for now. 

And as Mississippi Bulldog said I have a new wear indicator now

The rubber part of a tyre give little strength..its the reinforcing under the rubber that's the strength.
