Can anybody do or recommend a tyre inspector that can give me a report on a fucked tyre i have?

Im in conflict with toyo over a faulty tyre and need an independent opinion on why it has worn like it has done. It is pretty obvious that is faulty from day 1 but toyo say it has been under- inflated!

Funny how only 1 tyre out of 4 have gone fucked and all the pressures are the same and the tracking is spot on!

My fathger has spent 30 years in tyre reserach. Send me as many photo's as possible and I'll ask him to look for you.

Can't offer more help as he's now retired and doesn't have access to the test equipment that he used to. Bit gutted really as he used to get cracking deals on Continental tyres before retiring

These are the only pics i have at the mo. The wear is even all the way across the tyre. The damage is on the inside of the tyre. People have said the damage is what is expected from a nasty remould.
Cheers all.

It does look just like a dodgy remould. Patently obvious it's a faulty tyre.

Hope you get it sorted.

I had 2 Bridgestone SO2's do the exact same thing on the rear of my 1st Saff.... I've also seen a few Continentals do it as well (std fit from factory 205/50/17's on Mondeos)

No negative opinions please!!!!

Its a matter of safety more than anything else! Who wants to be driving around with badly manufactured tyres?

If i wanted shit tyres then i'd buy shit tyres!!

this is probably not relevant, but i remember years ago ford sold off the 4x4 explorer thing with remoulds, and massive chunks would fall off the tyres at around speeds of only 50-60mph motherfuckers
