    Thank you! I already read a good part of your very interesting website.

    In the last photo you can seed the jagged profile of the cut (don't pay attention to the under cords I cut them).

    Moreover, I would like to point out that the section of the sidewall in the previous photo is a section of a "healthy" part of the tyre. The section of the bad part is here. It looks like the break gets even inside the "triangle", right? Does this change your diagnosis? :)

    I love reading nice posts like your one. In my opinion, it is incredibly interesting. Thank you very much for sharing this information! By the way, I would like to know more about tyre construction, typical failures and so on. Is there a book which I may read? Other sources. On the internet I...

    Whould you explain a bit more? Overloading causes a very specific kind of failure? What do you means "between the layer of fabric"? This tyre has a single sidewall polyester ply (double on the very first part near the rim).

    So you confirm my dubts. Right now I wrote to GT Radial and Hankook asking if their 165R13C can be fitted to a B rim. Looking at the PDF at the link: http://www.continental.co.za/Uploads/Technical%20Data%20Book_2013-2014%20Pass,Van,%204x4(1).pdf on page 91 I see that a size which is quite...

    I am considering changing the tyres of my caravan to stronger ones. The caravan came with 165R13 86 R (reinforced) tyres. I found a lot of tyres with same size and 8 PR, i.e. 165R13 94. I believe the original rims are 5.00B and, often, I see in the tables that these 8 PR tyres need a 5J rim...
