Re: TYRE SHELF LIFE

The tyre is currently with the manufacturer and a written report will be provided so I shall wait and see. With regards to a hole in the tyre, the dealer said that he found a “big” hole that I couldn’t find.

Interestingly, the rubber adjacent to the failure point looked very fatigued, whereas the corresponding location on the other side of the tyre looked almost new apart from a little surface smudging from the rims. Should I expect that a flat tyer would have fatigued both sides of the tyre similarly?

In the meantime, the car has been off the road now for two weeks and I'm getting withdrawals [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
