the poll in the above thread is closed so i guessed this was the best thread to post the pics, but reading the thread might help with the saga !!!

they are not the best quality pics but you can see what i mean. these are from the 'better' of the 2 tyres taken off the rear, it still inflated but for how long your guess is as good as mine

the worst was already binned by the time i got to the garage, it was shocking !

i checked both tyres for signs of impact damage and there was none, but for both to show signs of splitting that pretty much ruled that out.

Not much wear, only 17k KM, no alighment problems from the wear


total of 4 splits on the inside wall, this is 2 of them.......


this is another.........



315's not in stock, but a pair of Continental CrossContact UHP back on the rears so at least i am back on the road
