Guest Guest Posted August 12, 2011 the strange thing is the other side of the tyre is fine, no cracks or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fr499y 0 Posted August 12, 2011 wrong pressures maybe? if theres plenty of tread, contact metzeler, they will be willing to find a cause and if its a defect in the tyre, i would of thought they would replace it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stue11 0 Posted August 12, 2011 They are metzlers....they dont use as much silica in there making of casings, it looks like to me the cetre tread as just peeled open to expose the cords...its either caused from doing harsh breaking, burnouts or in my opinion they are just cheaply made Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
