    Tire split at the seams - 2017 Skoda Superb 206

    Click image for larger version Name: IMG_0540.jpg Views: 1 Size: 164.7 KB ID: 1867583

    I was at the local shops (1km away) and on the drive home the tire pressure gauge came on, within 200 metres from home it felt like a puncture, I nursed it home and discovered this.

    It seems the tyre has disintegrated at the seam. Only 13000 kms on the clock, the car was serviced 1 month ago and Skoda advised the tires where fine.

    Is this odd? Is it likely wear and tear or a tire defect?

    Should I take it to Skoda?

      Where they Pirelli?

      Yes, take it up with both Skoda and the tyre manufacturer (whom ever that is)!

        It looks like it may have copped a hit, pothole or gutter ?

          Looking at the rim ,Looks like it has hit the kerb as paint has been removed
          You could try but i doubt your chances of getting it replaced ,

            There is a superficial scratch to the rim which has been there for a while. This was from scraping a curb whilst parking.

            Hardly going to a cause an entire tyre to split

              Looks like the tyre was so flat that you’ve damaged the sidewall.

              You can see that there’s a circle all the way around where the sidewall has collapsed and has been folded over and driven on.

              I’d say you’re up for a new tyre. I’d also check there’s no damage to the rim too.

                  Tyre shop will probably say they cannot patch it as it is too close to the sidewall

                    Driving a couple of hundred metres on a flat tyre will do that. The tyre didn’t split - you driving on it cut it open.

                      Yeah the rims circumference looks fine so the rim lip was running on top of the tyre sidewall and has done a can opener on it. Initially something else caused the puncture but the circumfrencial split i'd say is from driving on it.
