WTF - tyre blowout...

[tartan_rob]

The wife had a tyre blowout the other day. The tyres (Toyo Proxies) had done approx 200miles.

Nasty! Must have been a manufacturing defect surely.

What was the wear on the old tyres like? Didn't indicate any tracking problems?

[GardinerG]

Yikes, was it a pothole, or did it just let go? Hope the Mrs is fine and rest of the car (+ wheel) is ok.

I'm almost afraid to ask, what Toyos did you have fitted (T1S 96XL?) and what were they like for handling and noise?

[sfrs4]

is it possible that it had low preasure? that could explain the whole wall colapsing

[no_RS]

Speed bump damage? they are known for ripping the inside tyre wall to shreds..

[grizz]

Looks like it's been run flat..

[tartan_rob]

There is no obvious damage on the tyre for potholes etc but I would tend to concur with the no pressure statement - or lack of adequate pressure....

The Mrs doesn't provide feedback on grip etc...as for the type...T1R..? Althought not sure TBH

[lynchy]

a friend of mine had the same sort of blow out and the tyre was under inflated which caused it so its either that or a manufacturing defect

[kcsun]

I had exactly the same thing happen to me with poxy tyres, I sent my photos to Toyo, they collected the tyre and replaced it foc, saying it was a oneoff
maybe not so oneoff

If you want to know who to contact or have any problems, let me know,

Was this on the front or rear ?

Could it be the knobbly bit on the suspension arm ?
