Front tyre ripped - WTF?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bryanj:
Cant see the hole properly as its not in the centre of the pic, but from years of tyre fitting/selling/inspecting/moting/etc there are only 2 possibilities:-

(1) Impact damage, but i would expect a bulge with that

(2) Bad tyre manufacture

Come on Hairy, I can't imagine anyone reckless enough to ride with a tyre like that.

I'm afraid I don't assume anyone "wouldn't" do something these days. Fairly recently someone on here posted a pic of a badly cracked brake drum, and they were going to put it back and ride it until they found another one. It would be reckless of me not to point these things out, as some people genuinely don't know how dangerous these things can be. Similar thing with someone rebuilding an engine, and replacing a missing/damaged oil gallery plug with filler, an engine disaster waiting to happen.

The first paragraph of my OP puts it in context - Ive lost a good friend to a front tyre blowout, so don't worry, I have no wish to join him.
