RA28GT Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I've been told numerous times from different guys at my work that it's the sidewall ply's dieing. Quite dangerous to drive on apparently. If we get a car with a tyre like that in for a service the tyre goes straight to the spare. And If my spare is 40 Years old and doesn't hold air? haha Ill get some fresh ones this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 it's the sidewall ply's dieing Its true, and it will blow out if driven on long enough. Mine sometimes came from kerbs :blush: and sometimes from large rocks in rally roads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE20rollabus Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 seen quite a few tyres like this on customers cars, usually quite dangerous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbott Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I agree no harm in trying if you cause enough of a problem they may just do it to shut you up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerhead Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I had a tyre egg out on me last week, I don't think this wet weather is helping much. It was atleast the size of a tennis ball on the inner edge, about 4" of steering wheel wobble every time that wheel did a revolution.
