I reckon that is the inner casing, the tyre is damaged.

Agree with Dave - definitely the inner tyre shroud from what I can see :confused:

Not something you want to be driving with. Good job it was spotted.
-
any ideas on what it is.
A slick tyre? :fighting:
-
its strange, its clearly not just "popped" out, must have been there for sometime and i wonder if from new.
-
fit for the bin :smiley:
-
Yeah tyres a shot, when they change them make sure you get a proper alignment and balancing of all 4, as the wear looks a little uneven difficult to tell from part pic but not good
Is it driving ok?
-
id say so. tyres not losing hair and has been fine
-
It needs changing thats for sure, i take it the other tyres are fine? If so then search ebay for a 2nd hander, worth investing in 4 new ones if the rest are similar though
-
Others are fine. 4-5mm on rears. so going to change front two
-
Your tyre's had a prolapse :scared:
-
it looks like a tyre repair done with this stuff http://chemi-cure-repair.com/ChemiCure%20User%20Flyer.pdf
have you had a tyre repair sone at any time ?
-
not me, but mayb who had the car originally.. cant really find out
-
when you get the tyre off mate have a look inside see if there is something that looks like a shoe lace, i might be wrong but im sure it is chem cure. it sould only be used on agri tyres.
-
agri?
-
Agricultural perhaps?
-
indeed, but by which time its too late.. lol. really wanted them to last until all 4 needed, and it wasnt too far off really, safest thing is to have it replaced
-
yeah it looks like an agricultural repair, we call them shoe lace or dog chew repairs :signLOL: type `tyre repair` into ebay and quite a few of these kits pop-up.
And your right its best to replace :happy2:
-
i think you could just have that fixed mate. you should be able to pull it out from the inside and ask a tyre dealer to repair with a plug patch.

it's a bloody repair!!! what a un-needed spend of £285!

....Sorry but I don't understand - Are you saying that those All Purpose patch repairs cost you £285!?
-
no but...basically yes...
They wouldn't pass my cars MOT, so i had to buy two tyres. at that cost.
They could have removed the tyre seen it was a repair and put it back.. costing me nothing! but no

Havent you got ground to argue that? Surely if the tyre is still legal and has been repaired to a good standard they cant argue the fact.
-
the woman on service didn't really know what to say so im going to call the manager, however i doubt hell b helpful.. they may argue its not good standard... i don't know how they should or shouldn't look to really argue it back..
-
Its worth a try. End of the day its cost you £285 for something that may not have even needed doing just because they couldnt be bothered to pop the tyre off!
-
very true. ok i ordered two tyres because they told me i had too, but they could have checked this one when it was off and seen it was a repair and put it back costing £0... or maybe even just some ££ for checking it!
-
indeed! :happy2:
-
Just called hum. Saying it was substandard. Waiting call back
