tomtaylor1 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hi All, the air was let out of my low profile tyre, 255/30/19, the wall is now cracked, does this make the tyre unsafe to use, still has plenty of tread. Thank you in anticipation. Regards Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transam Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Dump the tyre.......As for inner tubes, in the UK they are illegal to use in tubeless tyres.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anythingleft? Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Black boot polish will fill the cracks and make it look brand newPlease take that as a joke, just in case you thought about it.......Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 All that keeps your vehicle on the road is 2 - or 4 - small rubber contact patches. Why risk your life - and your passengers lives - with crap Not 100% - replace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Tires take quite a beating Are they showing cracks on both sides inside and outside of just the outside. How old are they? There are cracks and then there are cracks. The outside of the sidewall is simply a sealing layer to keep the elements away from the inner (structural) part of the tire—in other words, those unsightly cracks are purely cosmetic.

I read that the air was let out of one of his tyres. I can't remember what car this guy has got ...think it could be a BM in which case they would be run flats. Best to bin that tyre as who knows what has happened to the steel belts ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Better safe than sorry. I do not take any chances with tires - not worth the risk. Save 10,000 baht - spend 250,000 in the hospital - or 25,000 for a casket.
