gjm 3242 Report post Posted May 1, 2015 What looks to have been a (rare?) manufacturing defect in a Michelin tyre was the cause of the problem experienced where I found an appallingly unsafe tyre on our car - an inspection shows that while the tyre did lose pressure, it did so after the construction had broken down and the tyre deformed. This wasn't a newly fitted tyre and it is entirely possible that the issues happened as a result of bad storage, bad fitting, or something else. Whatever, we drove ~10000km on it before finding the issue, so expecting any sort of refund would imo be unreasonable. However, it means I need a new tyre. Anyone got something suitable, preferably another Michelin with 6mm+ tread? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd always thought a 225 to be too wide for a 7" rim (which is what I need a tyre for) but my trusty "what size rim should I use" calculator reckons it'd be nigh-on perfect. That said - Triangles... Hmm. Not sure about them. No matter as it looks like they're sold now. I can get a new Pirelli P6 for $100, but a better match would be a near-new Michelin MX4. The asking on that is $150 or so though, so I'll make an offer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
