how old is the tyre? i know some people who actually buy 2 sets of tyres, and leave a set on their garage room to harden by the sun for a year so when they put it on the next year it lasts longer ?? lol

looks mad !!!

Could possibly be either some random object on the road, or just a crappy tire.

I've had a separated tire once which I believe was the tire itself and not from something on the road. The tire was only about 7,000km new.

Shame it doesn:t work like that in reality. The UV damage to the tyre (not even mentioning the ageing proces) reduces grip like you wouldn:t believe.

Geez, that is pretty bad, you been dropping the clutch when no one is looking ;) jks LOL :lol:

Here is what i will share with you about what happened to me...

On my old old car something similar happened to me when i was cruising up towards the Sunshine Coast from the Gold Coast.

I had just had new rubber put on the back wheels, (at the time i didn't know anything about cars) and had Re-treads fitted on the rear... BAD IDEA!

The Profile of the tyre sidewall was thicker then what was supposed to be fitted, so i was happily cruising up to the Sunny Coast, and i feel the steering beginning to shake like crazy, and i am thinking, 'what's up whis this - Mind you i was travelling about 100 km/hr... a bit longer and then i could smell Tyre smoke, and the ride was just getting worse, and i tried to get people along the road to inform me that there maybe something wrong (don't rely on other ppl, the are hopeless) and all of a sudden BANG! blew the tyre at 100km/hr, managed to slow right down and pulled right off the highway.

Now in saying this, i didn't know cars the way i do now, but when we had a look what had happened, the tyre had actually rubbed THROUGH the bottom part of the suspension, it just chewed straight through it :o

so No. 1 Lesson learnt, no matter how 'good' the price is for re-treads, PLEASE DO NOT BUY THEM OR PUT THEM ON YOUR CAR, ESPECIALLY IF ITS THE WRONG PROFILE!!!!

The only bonus about leaving tyres out in the sun for a year is the extra smoke they produce hahaha...
