So I'm guessing that the damage is from rubbing on the inside right??? IDK it looks like the damage isn't deep into the tire. Tough decision though because I would be paranoid to drive at high speeds with them.

i wouldnt buy it,

EDIT: plus it will be like putting a 245 on the right and 275 on the left with that much of the tire material gone.
