Exclamation Our my tyres safe?

I bought a car for the wife Mrs Plums and after giving it a thorough clean noticed the 2 rear tyres have some sidewall damage

The tyres a almost new but I'm worried about the safety aspect....

Please take a look at the pictures and let me know what you think?

The first one, ie, the first 2 pics, i would say thats fine, the second one looks like it might have been punctured and repaired..... most places don't repair tyres in that area, they replace them, but ultimately it's your call, depends how much you value your wifes life i guess......

Not what I would let go. Tyres are very thin on the sidewall, breaks like this could rip through on tight turns! Your call matey.
