So i was checking tire pressures on my car and noticed this.

Tires were bought from Tirerack on June 29th 07.

Front passenger side is messed up. The driver's side is fine.

These are Bridgestone RE050A Pole Position

WTF?!

Mind you, this is all around the tire's sidewall.




















As you can see, there's plenty of tread left.

 

Wow...how does that even happen?

 

That could have turned out very badly, if you had not discovered that!

I shudder, when I think of what that might have turned into.

 

Looks like it's about to delaminate, F1 style!

 

Contact the Tire company about that, Most companies will send you a set and tell you to send them the old one back.

 

when you take the wheel off...look on the inside of the tire...theres a code where you can tell how old a tire is...im thinking someone may have sold you an old tire...

check out this video to figure out how to read how old your tires are...

i checked the code, tire is relatively new. but it's just weird and unbelievably unsafe.

 

C'mon allen u know bridgestone doesn't like rotas jk jk

That looks scary though, thank god you found out before anything bad happened.

 

check your inside fender wall.
your tires maybe touching your fener liner clip area.

 

not touching. plus, i'm not slammed and it's only on one side so it baffles me.
