FC&P2C Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Went riding this morning and next moment the reinforcing inside the side wall must have failed as the bubble was so big it rubbed against the frame. I stopped and deflated the tyre and made it back home. The sidewall has not teared.Has anyone else experienced this problem with gatorskin / duraskin tyres?
David Marshall Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 What does the wall look like from the inside? You may have a cut through the reinforcing which has allowed the bubble to form. Even a small cut from a glass puncture that damages the casing can cause the failure. If you haven't punctured the tyre at all in the past I would take it back to the shop and they can follow it up with continental.
FC&P2C Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 Just took the tyre off. The sidewall is 100%. The tyre failed due too the bead that tore out the seam at the bottom of the sidewall. Weird!
Lukep Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I have the same tires, and my tires are shedding the thread in the side walls, why is that? Pieces oof string are constanly comming lose
Breezer Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 It is called separation. I get it a lot with my truck tires. Somewhere the tire got a hard blow, like a rock or a pothole. With time the inside beads separate because of the high tire pressure.
