Just realised you cannot even trust the main manufacturers of tires. My car has done less than 30,000Km and I was checking the tire pressure as I do quite regularly and my front passenger side was down to 28psi. I thought that perhaps there was a nail in it or something so I took it to the tire shop. The guy in the tire shop says immediately that I need a new tire. Obviously I thought he was scamming me because there was certainly plenty of wear in the tire as you can see. He showed me a couple of cracks in the tire wall which of course convinced me he was genuine. I had him replace it. When he took the tire off and I got a look at the inside tire wall I got a real shock. I think I have been lucky in this case as it could have been much worse. That tire could have blown out at anytime. I attach the photos. imageproxy.php?img=&key=3bccf9db2954ff32imageproxy.php?img=&key=3bccf9db2954ff32

Be worth asking Dunlop via email why this happened to their tyre when it has always been used at the correct pressure for the ride..For me even at 28psi I cannot imagine that stuff would happen...

I recently changed my two years old Pirelli P Zero. The rubber had start cracking, and the rear tires had almost no thread. 4 years seems to be an absolute maximum lifespan in Thailand. I never had a
