A good reason why to check your tires occasionally!!!

[matt]

    Always good to check your tires at least once a year!!!  This is what I found as we were coming back from the Flanders show, - lady behind us beeped, and pointed to our tire and said(?) wobble?


            Pulled over an found this, only by feel as it was hiding being on the inside of the tire by the wheel well



             




  At least I can see the condition of my steel belts in my tire! :surrender: ( see expanded view, I'm lifting up the tread)



  good to always to have a spare!  and a jack when you travel!!!!!! ..........

Hate to ask but how many miles did you have on them and how old are they?

[lovebus (jack)]

Matt, as "frugal"  :icon_wink: as your are I'm sure you can get another 10,000mi out of that tire.

Hey my wife does that on a regular basis!
drove home once with NO tire! looked like an episode of "cops" with the rim shooting sparks down the street!

[lovebus (jack)]

WOW, she really let loose. What brand tire was that and was they 8ply Or a passenger car tire?

I just got 4 new Continentals 6 Ply but with the same load range as the 8 ply of othe brands.

[Z28Justin]

to be honest i don't remember what kind of tires they were, but i do remember seeing a little spot of dry rot that most likely caused it.

 LoL     LoL  Maybe I should superglue it as Steveo suggested..then hey! I got a Christmas present for Steveo this year!  Shhhhh....

 It was a Contential tire, ( sorry Jack)  the tread looked good, even off the tire.
I still have to check if I have a receipt for that tire....maybe I can get something back, although the same store says they can no longer get tires of that  ( a bugs') size. I think I bought 2 of them 2 years ago, and roughly only "show driving " miles on them

Found some new Kumho bug tires off the internet, got them yesterday, putting them on, (before the MD show)  and replacing my other Continental that seems to be splitting along the sidewall!!!............
shocked

Was it at night, that would have been coool, and increased her visibility to other traffic!

Bet that rim was toast!
