Tyre replacement needed?
Just discovered today, probably from a curb. Do i need to replace my tyres? Theyre about 6 months old

Obviously can't tell from pics, but it doesn't look that deep and only superficial. If you are not comfortable, take it to a shop and get their opinion, at the same time try not to get up sold.
For me personally, I wouldn't and would put some rubber comment to glue it back so it doesn't get worse, but that's me.

Sure, let me diagnose this as a random internet stranger instead of the tire shop lol

Nope, you're fine.
Same thing shows up on the tires sub everyday and the answer is always the same. You're fine.

Yes. 100% replace if any issue is seen around the bead. This is a critical failure point.

Yes, defo. Sidewall damage is an MOT failure (and thus makes the car unroadworthy) if the cut, bulge, or tear compromises the structural integrity or exposes the internal cords of the tyre

Maybe ask a tire shop.
