How hasn't this exploded!?

[Baz]

Went to get my puncture fixed today.....Seems it wasn't such an easy fix after all (ok maybe it was but not a cheap one)

There is about 5cm which isn't down to the metal casing, in some places there is no metal casing left, not sure how it hasn't exploded on me on the motorway!

Suprised that hasn't blown tbh lol

Could be a problem with your suspension or something

[Bedford126]

Are you on some serious camber or something that tyre looks to have loads of life left in it.

[Hazmanscoop]

It obviously hasnt pierced the inner membrane, so would of stayed intact.

[adamm]

Is it catching the strut or something?

[Baz]

Doesn't appear to be catching anything, I wouldn't say I'm running silly camber. Don't think it help that pretty much all my driving is motorway mileage but didn't think it would be so bad!

Rears are fine though, no abnormal wear like the fronts

[Ryancoyle]

Looks like there's a bit of camber from that last pic tbh

shit angle of the picture that is, the houses in the background are level and not on the piss like the picture shows

[stevo67]

1st pic could be my eyes but the car looksl like its dropped slightly to the left on the front.

[Bedford126]

I would get your camber checked and also your tracking.

[monka]

i have a friend who often puts tyres on his fiesta, tracking gets checked all the time and its all ok just keeps munching tyres

[Prickle]

need a new axle. hur hur hur

[JoshFurioBrookes]

I dont think thats camber wear...tracking/wheel alignment I'd of thought.

[Jam3s]

Exactly the same happened to my mate - it was rubbing on the strut. But it was obvious as it had worn both of them pretty badly.

[Ross]

Jesus Baz lucky mate!

Running these wheels on your merc presumably?

[Baz]

I think its gotta be rubbin somewhere but I can't see anything noticeable but i'm sure its rubbing but not a clue where or why!?

[Manu]
