Watwheels Supersonic October 29, 2009 Share October 29, 2009 (edited) If you search online you will find that inside the tire wall there are steel braiding and thin strips steel belt wrapped around internally. If just a hair line crack it's just a "superficial wound". Unless the rock is sharp and pierce thru the steel belt, dan you worry. Keep an eye on the crack. If really becomes jialat dan change.

Not sure how deep the crack is but i heard a loud "pop" sound and it deflate very fast like in 10 min, when i change the tyre to the spare one, the puncture tyre resume it original shape..n i saw a crackline on the side wall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kr_toy 1st Gear October 29, 2009 Share October 29, 2009 You want cheap, then buy those OEM tyres taken out from new car. Many tyre shops who does trade-in should have stock. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
