i would say the drop your car has and the wearing of the inner edge of the tread has led to the tyre cooking a bit.

Had a similar situaiton with the Yoko AVS tyres that were on my soarer when I got it, funnily enough I replaced them with federals

i dont go cheap when i buy tyres. they're the last thig between you and the road, and the whats gonna keep you on it at the end of the day!

u get what ya pay for as stu said.

They where on the wheels when I got them. I think it is because of the neg camber where it has been lowerd, more of a reason to get the camber sorted.

i've never had a tre failre like that, maybe better brand tyres will be the cure?

[E30BeemerLad]

just had a look at my rears on the soarer and there is a split/gash out of the side wall on the inner side.

Don't think it's realated but I think a possible cause is speed humps. The soarer is just about wide enough so you can get a wheel either side, but occasionally i get it wrong and you catch the inner edge of the tyre.

Personally I'm sick of low profile tyres. Never had a problem with tyres until I started running cars with 17's & 18's. May go back to standard 16's and get some ride quality back too.

I am going to get 16" wheels next. Its not just one tyre its all 4 they havent done many miles.
