nismo_lp Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Has anyone ever heard of a tyre spliting to the outer wall ... just before the tred starts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 If it is to delaminate it's usually through under inflation or taking a hit such as a kerb or pothole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 This can also happen if the tyre is too wide for the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I had a set of Pirellis that were 2+ years old, well wornand had been around the Nurburgring, there were splits around parts of the tyre where it had begun to come away at the side wall. I made sure last year when I got back that they my new set were checked and they were fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismo_lp Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Just a bit gutting spending £200 on a tyre and only covering about 50 miles not money well spent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Oh, thats bad, sounds like you got a faulty one, unless there was something in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Contact the supplier, could be from a bad batch, my brother had a set of tyres and 3 of the 4 had bubbles appearing in the side walls, he had a full replacement set due to there being a bad batch of tyres from the supplier.
