I had the urge to rotate my own tires this holiday season. I found out that the sidewall of one tire was completely cracked. It was about 10 inches long and the steel belts were showing. My thoughts was, this could have blown any time. The outside sidewall was in pefect condition, and show no signs at all, and there was still some meat on the treads too. There was no lost in air, so I really would not have known.

Lucky I was not on the road. Could have gotten hurt or killed if the tires blow.

Therefore, PLEASE also check the condition on the inside of your tires too.

 

Thanx bro.............tires are good just checked them last night.

 

had the same exact problem. My front right tire looked perfect on the edge facing the fender wall, and when I had the oil change and the car was lifted, about 3 inches into the tire facing the engine was complete steel. The scary thing is that I left on a road trip to Phoenix with my wife the day before and I was going 90+. All it took was that tire to blow being a steering tire and I would have been grass

 

is your car lowered with negative camber out of wack?
If not, then you could have one of 2 problems:
1)check your alignment
2)if your lower control arm bushing(s) is in bad shape it will naturally cause your car to have bad alignment-happened to mine and I wore out the inside of my passenger front tire within 5000 miles

 

I ended up buying an Ingalls Camber Kit

 

That make sense since the negative camber put more stress on the inside tire wall. But just freaky how the sidewalls just die like that. I still think it's a tire quality issue.

BTW, did you happen to get "cheap" tires?
