Side Walls Of cheese

Zip · 28 Aug 2006 at 15:45

I had a Side wall go tonight.

It didnt Blow out, It just ripped and now i have a gash in it about 3-4cm long

They had only done 3000kms aswell.

Sorry about the Crap quality photos, They were taken with a camera phone at night under the light in the door way.

This is me pushing the rip inwards

Lousy pics, but I can just about make out the damage.....

Did you bump anything (pothole, rock, wombat etc)? Or did it let go all by itself?

Nah Definatly not F1s

They are road going tyres but can be taken off road aswell so not just for road/sports use.

The Brand is Sava.

You would get better grip running on the rims, it boggles me why ppl fit cheap tyres just to save a few quid

*I know you didn't fit these.

Maybe bcause everyone isn't driving around everywhere at 100mph. Mind you i hate that my self, cant stand cheap tyres. Bad thing is the good ones cost ya, as i had to fit F1's all round 3 months ago and already have had to fit front ones again as they never do as many miles as the cheapo ones.

I've got one, but no pics. Just scraped a curb (the alloy is completely intact) and now I have bulge in the sidewall that looks like it has some sort of disease. It's about three inches long and sticks out over half an inch.
