Tyre out of shape - hm
Has anyone has this before,

My rear nearside rear tyre on my 306 has perished along the centre line, which has out the tyre out of shape.

At first I thought the wheel was out of balance but neither me, nor the wife remembered curbing anything.

Admittedly the tyre is over 2 years old and has about 40K onit.

It is a well know good brand (not cheap). All of my tyre pressures are correct etc. Has this ever happend to anyone before? The car has not stood, I use it everyday.???

cheers

H

Tyre out of shape - Andrew-T
Presumably in comparison with the other 3/4, this tyre has done poorly, but in absolute terms it must have easily beaten any warranty conditions, and you haven't really been done out of anything?

Is the fault in the rubber or the carcass?
