Default 18 inch wheels and british roads..

driving back from local village after collecting some parts i started getting vibration through the front wheels, straight home and found the both inner walls distorted on the front tyres..

Shit tyre brand probably hits the nail on the head but running low pressures and hitting pot holes can do that, the properly inflated tyre does protect itself a bit.

Straddling road humps in the middle of the road fucks inner sidewalls. You regularly go over these?

Same as above see this all the time lucky for you your rims haven't cracked as well

People think going over a speed bump evenly is the best

What a shame matey.

These roads are a joke. If there is a speed bump next to each other on the road i always drive in the middle of the road rather than going over them.

Don't asda sell those tyres. If they ain't Pirelli, Michelin or Dunlop then if they are cheap I am not surprised. Buy cheap, buy twice

Best thing is to buy toyo, Michelin, Dunlop or Pirelli imo, uncle matsi catsi Chinese ditch finders just seem to be false economy. Poor grip, poor integrity and very poor wear rates.

I'm going to go with super cheap tyres.

Unless the fronts have run flat at some point and weakened the sidewalls.

same here. I had a kahn kitted discovery on 22's as a works motor and never had a problem. even when arsing around off roading it I didn't damage anything. the cost difference isn't that much between decent tyres and cheapos so its not worth penny pinching on tyres. my uniroyal rainsport3's were £65 each on my little merc . cheap and nasties were still £40-£45
