pattayapip Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Am interested in others thought here . . Recently had a near Blow Out Rear Nearside Tyre, Huge Bang and Rapid Deflation, saw nothing on the road but it may have been a small bottle or something ? Tyre was Brand New (Maybe 200Kms) Split right through between the treads, should not the steel banding in the Tyre make that impossible ? Anyway, Tyre Supplier says "Guarantee covers material or manufacturing defects, but on your tyre damage caused by normal road using it is under cover gurantee." What do you think ? I have already replaced the tyre, the external split is easy to see, pretty hard to see inside but have attached some Pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like a tyre defect to me, looks like a knife cut. I would say the tyre has run over something, possibly glass being top of the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onekoolguy Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Looks like a cut to me? Defects are usually in the form of a tread separation. Bubble, etc. I am suprised the tire is still intact. Often they are destroyed by running flat when losing air at highway speeds. Then a little hard to say what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifino Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 they would have turned the carcass inside out, to express the 'cut' as an open wound. Would have then seen if there was a 'grain' of something slicing? or the random like patterns of a tear were you looking over their shoulders? to see it all unfold?

Thanks, was just interested, and yes my thoughts would be one of those small Red Bull Type Bottles Was Nearside Rear and not much of a speed and also stopped within a couple Hundred Meters so all good Changing the Wheel of the Fortuner in 40+ Heat was not much fun though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good, Just wondered what others thought, will put it down to a small bottle and tough luck Rapid but not immediate deflation and pulled up within a couple hundred meters to change the wheel, so no running while flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
