Sepia Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Gooday AllI have been riding this Schwalbe Marathon plus for ages and this is happening.The tire is setup tubeless and fitted to a DT Swiss rim. I am riding with 3.5 Bar and the rating is 4 - 6 Bar.Why is the tire popping out in places?Thanks.
Jehosefat Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Structural failure of the sidewall. You're going to need to replace the tire. Should be replaced under warrantee if it's new enough. Edited March 15, 2021 by Jehosefat

His lasted a couple hundred meters after he noticed the bulge. So I'd suggest not using it again.
Sepia Posted March 15, 2021 Author Posted March 15, 2021 Second time this has happened to me with the Marathon Plus using different rims. Must be doing something wrong.Wont be using Marathon Plus tires again, still plenty tread left.Too scared to use it so it will be chucked.Thanks Guys
Tiny K Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Just a thought - I see it's rated for between 4 and 6bar but you're running at 3.5bar. Could this not be flexing the sidewall too much causing the delamination? This reminds me of running the chinese Chaoyang snakeskin tyres at 8bar and wondering why the ribbing near the rim was coming off in strands. Only to read the tyre's sidewall - max 7bar Sepia and Eddy Gordo 2
Eddy Gordo Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Yes, Low pressure cause the casing to flex excessively, leading to premature wear. Edited March 15, 2021 by Eddy Gordo Sepia 1
