Thread: My tyre melted

Hey mate

no update yet, made it to Darwin and have ordered two new tyres but they are taking a long time to arrive from Adelaide as no one stocks them here - once the new rubber is on I’ll get a new wheel alignment just in case

right now the ‘melted’ one from the original pics is my spare and the other one is still on the car, so yep I’m pretty well house bound at the moment

nil response from Pirelli despite two emails

You should have ordered a full set of tyres or at least 3 of them because that "melted" one is ruined and isn't any value as a spare, It would also be illegal to use anyway

Have you checked the manufacture date on the tyres??

I got duped on a set of jumps that were already three years old when fitted.

Age might be a contributor given the low K’s

I'd put money on that its an alignment issue

If everyone wants to place their bets I’ll confirm soon

yep trout, ive got three brand new ones on the car and one bad one, so I’ve order two new to replace the spare as well.

What's the prize Luke??

I'll guess that your alignment is ok. Your pressure is to high and you're Pirelli tyres disappear like every set of mine once they get to 80%, I run Scorpions, but one service they are there, the next I'm wondering how she get home on rags!

My attempt to win the prize is as follows:

The alignment won't be bad enough to fully explain the problem.

Pirelli won't acknowledge that there was any problem with the tyre.

In other words, at the end of this, you still won't have a definitive answer.
