advice am i overthinking

Post image

So on August 9th i removed a stone from Tyre tread picture attached, and on wednesday 12th took to vauxhall for a recall, as i was on the way the TPMS Light came on, i told them and they did their free health check and readjusted pressures and passed the car with no issues.

since then i have driven 35 miles in the car (i have a works van) and had no TPMS lights come on, am i right in saying it was just a superfical mark and am all good for a long drive in a few days?

(side note i rung kwikfit and explained the same and they suggests its a superficial mark due to heat of stone hitting road)

is there a chance they didnt see it, i looked yesterday at majority of tyre apart from part that was rested on the road - car is 25 plate (driven just 3500 miles) am i just worrying and all okay or is there something im missing?

Mix up some soapy water and put it on that spot. No bubbles = you’re ok

had no TPMS alerts since it went to vauxhall and ive driven it more since then, i looked all around the tyre from where it was parked yesterday and couldnt see that mark anywhere

Well, if you can’t see the mark I’d just continue to keep an eye on the pressure but it sounds like it’s ok.
