link to a photo of one of my remould Colway AT's after 1341mainly road miles. obviously a faulty tyre, the other 3 bought at the same time are fine, this one is showing small cracks all over it between the treads which the other three are not. The supplier is sending out a replacement should be with me on wednesday.

That's remoulds for you.

I'd check the batch number on the tyres, if they're all the same, then get them to give you 4 new tyres. If one of the batch goes like that, then the probability of the others going the same way is quite high.

Good reason never to fit remoulds in my opinion. luckily your a good motorist and check your tires on a regular basis

I've had this problem with Pirellis. It's not entirely down to remoulds you know.

That looks seriously dangerous. I shudder to think what could have happened.

Batch Number, why didn't i think of that.

worst case scenario would be a blowout, I've had a couple of those in the past, not so bad if it's on the back and you're not heavily loaded. It'd been tricky if the blowout had damaged a break line, which I've known happen, but the 110 shuttle valve would have left me with brakes on the other circuit anyway.

Oh great. Just put Pirelli's on the front.....

Best reason I ever saw for sticking clear of re-moulds

Strangly I've just had exactly the same thing happen on my RR Classic on a 2 year old Goodyear Wrangler tyre.

I didn't get any recompense however and had to buy new tyres - not Goodyears this time, and I suspect, never again.

The company sent out the replacement as promised and as I'd sent them photographs of the fecked tyre they didn't want to bother with having this one sent back. However I'm not sure I'd buy these again.

Regards. Mark.
