Title: Tyre split
Post by: Twiggy on July 01, 2013, 11:08:22 am

Hi guys,

I moved my girlfriends car at the weekend and noticed this on the tyre. Her car is a Ford Fiesta Zetec S (diesel  :sad1:)

She currently has Maxxis MA Z1 fitted.

I will be ordering her some new tyres today but just wonderd if you guys knew what has happened? is it a fault in the tyre or has she hit a pot hole? the tyres have covered about 10k motorway mile.

Cheers guys  :happy2:

Got some coming tomorrow, car is not being used. Good job i spotted it really.

Ordered 4 continental sport contact 3. They should be able to handle the insane power of her 95bhp diesel!  :signLOL:
