Dann Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) I bought 4 new tyres about 3 months ago anyway I got some not cheap but not expensive paid £410 for 4 tyres Khumo rear and fullrun fronts. Now as I was driving the tyres were aweful in wet sliding all over then noticed there was a bludge in the inside of the right rear. the wall of the tyre was buldged out anyway already decided to change the rear tyres as I got the rear removed I found what the buldge was the inner wall had give away all split inside the tyre was on verge of blowing out. http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/9136/photo480ri9.jpg http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/photo480ri9.jpg/1/w800.png Now I have fitted a set of pirrells at £420 for two a though my life was worth more than cheap tyres. But story does not end there. On motorway other day at motorway speeds the viabration through steering wheel came on bad like I had flats at front but handling was ok ish. As to be expected with the fullruns on front. Had a quick check of tyre pressure ok added a bit more in 2psi upped it to 26psi in fronts. This did not cure it got home Took wheel off and checked discs and suspension etc all ok nothing loose. then looked at tyre This is the horror result I saw. http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/5074/photo629vl0.jpg http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/photo629vl0.jpg/1/w800.png http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/444/photo631kr3.jpg http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/photo631kr3.jpg/1/w800.png http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/7540/photo632lv7.jpg http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/photo632lv7.jpg/1/w800.png http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/8371/photo633qi0.jpg http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/photo633qi0.jpg/1/w800.png So have now parked the car at side of my house untill I can save up to get a set of front tyres. Both are the same front right pictured is split all round and front left is split in few places but makes about half of it. These tyres on motorway would have been heating up and the tread is coming off the tyre. I dont know were I stand on maybe getting fullrun to pay for these tyres or new tyres as no way should they be issueing death traps like these. Anyone know if I can get some sort of deal or were I stand ? Please check your tyres guys and girls.

tooquicktostop Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Cheap tyres, however the delamination is very poor indeed!! You were running a good 10PSI lower than I run on my fronts which will not have helped the wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 cheap tyres on a high performance car...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Cheap tyres?! What the hell is a fullrun?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 They look like low profile 18" ? if so 26psi is far to low and may have contributed to the delamination, so i doubt you will have much come back with the tyre company, however the rear look suspiciously like bad fitting with the tyre machine to me.

Dann Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 ok new tyres will go to that pressure thanks for advice. I am going to get a set of pirellys for front to match the rear as the rears are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I run 36psi front and 34psi rear, i wasnt aware that changing wheel/tyre size affected the pressure you run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Toyota recommend 36psi, so you were using far to low tyre pressure. That delamination is quite scary though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) Not being funny here but people.... please get some descent rubber on your cars .... please !! The weather is not getting any better and these cars struggle as it is in the wet, the above shows that unknown brands are just bad news. Cheapo rubber will probably kill you. Buying descent tyers should be the 1st thing on your list before any mods are done.

Axle Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I got some not cheap but not expensive paid £410 for 4 tyres Khumo rear and fullrun fronts Thats what you get for buying cheap Tyres. Least you have noticed it before it was too late. Dont skimp on rubber, your skimping on your safety. For those that cant afford good rubber, on a high performance vehicle i suggest your running a car you cant afford to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Were those Pirellis new, or used? 410 quid seems very cheap, thats less than what I pay for my 2 rears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannoSupra Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Ive had kuhmo's on my supra once before, had no hassle, but they didnt last Looks like they been run on low tyre pressures, possibly hit a pot hole or some bump and made a weak spot in the tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Toyota recommend 36psi, so you were using far to low tyre pressure. That delamination is quite scary though! Is that 36 psi all round?? I have my fronts at 30 psi and my rears at 35 psi... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
