JiP Posted January 2, 2007 Report Posted January 2, 2007 Hey, just wondering if anyone else has experianced a tire blowing up from just sitting around?? This is the tire from my Hardtop 55. It was sitting in the afternoon shade beside the house when all of a sudden it let out a massive explosion. I didn't find it till days later. The tire looked to be in good condition prior to this.

raceflorolla Posted January 2, 2007 Report Posted January 2, 2007 Yeah, my brother had the same thing happen to him, except the tire was on the back of his feroza and exploded while he was driving along! Quote
7shades Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 Thats really really odd... thats massive structural failure.... even when we overpressurised a tyre once and it popped in a similar way It wasn't that bad Maybe it hatched and there's a little baby tyre somewhere under the car looking for a feed :D Quote
JiP Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Posted January 3, 2007 I'm happy the tire wasn't on the car. It was from my project car, therefore it was being stored along side of the house. Quote
crazy_bunny Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 seen a blowout like that on a mates car, he had been parked for about 30mins but had just come from a 10hour drive. It was a really old tyre tho, had been sitting round in the sun for a fair while. Quote
thomo Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 had that hapen on an old mustang i was working on in a single car tin garage, stiff drink and a change of shorts, not a problem! they havent made that tyre in YEARS, just old rubber failing, if you had driven on it you would have been hearing a massive thump thump noise as the bubble got bigger with heat Quote
