dasilvarsa Posted March 29, 2023 Share If I had that tyre on my bike I would not Sleep at Night. Tube or no tube front or back. TheoG and Jako De Wet 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted March 29, 2023 Share This is what the inside of the tyre was looks like. I've cleaned it up a bit and zoomed in onthe area. OVERDRIVE and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted March 29, 2023 Share Give it to the OP in the other thread who's drilled a hole in his bike and let's see which one caves in first ... Bad luck with the new tyre - not the first person I've heard of this happening to Barry, Schnavel, Zebra and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Ruinaard Posted March 29, 2023 Share put it down to school fees and throw it away - i did similar when i just started out except it was a 250km road trip and i turned a tyre in to charcoal and bent a rim. As the man said be thanful those were alloy rims casue that would hev been a much uglier day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted March 29, 2023 Share After filling it with air again and feeling around the affected area, its paper thin and the tear is getting close to the bead. So will rather not risk it and chuck the tyre away Will get a new one tomorrow... Sepia, Schnavel, TheoG and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted March 29, 2023 Share You wont die if it fails on the back. Patch it or use a tube with sealant, put it on the back. Even if you get 5 proper rides out of it… you can just as easily slash any sidewall at speed and have an instantaneous deflation. Hell, these fast kids roll rear tyres off rims in fast in corners at the enduros and nobody dies or even falls off for that matter. its not on a bike that will be doing 60kph down a tar road. another question…what casing is it? If its exo+ and up…even better. Its not a snakeskin xc tyre. Edited March 29, 2023 by MORNE mazambaan and Graham S 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those hang on things are a good way to wreck bikes. 3. Like Morne said, stick a mushroom plug in it and ride it on the back. IF it fails at least it's a walk home and not a crash. Or just don't make the exhaust tip stick out. I don't think that's a standard exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's a standard exhaust Yeah, but a platform rack will do way more than save your tyres. They're way more stable and easier to use. Unless you drive a previous gen Fortuner or a Cayenne, then you'll need deflector plates as well. ChrisF and TheoG 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep the tyre and tube as a spare incase anything happens on my other tyre etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellow Hubber just raised the towball on his Isuzu Frontier .... added benefit that the standard exhaust now properly clears the platform rack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
