less then 50 miles and tire is seperating from cords and big buldge

[Jimmy Neutron]

took Spyderto have floor boards fabiracated and installed.. It has less then 50 miles.. The guy got on floor to measure underneath,, He calls and said tire is seperated from cords and a huge bulge in side of tire,, Lucky they caught it unlucky no riding this beautiful weekend

 

[Jimmy Neutron]

Yes no ryding this weekend but possibly something worse has been avoided! Was it a front or the rear tire? This is your lucky day so go buy a lotto ticket.

back tire and yes even though I was upset over tire. I thanked the man who caught it and a cuddos to Kurtz He is satying late so I can drive doan and get new one,, And of course im sure the big man upstairs was looking out for me

Do you have any idea what might have caused that to happen? Do you recall contact with anything in the road?? :yikes:
Good thing that it was caught before it caught you! :thumbup:

i didnt hit anything,, it is on the sidewall.. the dealer is just thinking maybe bad from factory.. he has never had it happen before,, its funny because i called him this morning and asked why it was darting so bad,, I thought maybe suspension..but now we both know its the tire..

Was this a new tire? How many miles were on it? I think that I'd get after Kenda and see if they'll replace it for you... Good Luck! :thumbup:

It could have been a defective tire...or it could also have been a road hazard. If you hit a curb, 2x4, or similar object with a belted tire, the most likely damage is to the sidewall...especially at lower pressures. It could even have been damaged during mounting.

Or overinflated...

What pressure are you running in the rear tire? If you didn't check it (new) ask the dealer.

I had this happen on a new car tire. The side wall belt broke inside. It was a manufacturing defect. The Firestone store replaced that tire for free and gave me a $50.00 gift card.
