they was at correct pressure when i had a look it looked like the bead was split but why would the other tyre be red hot ?2 reasons-
Underinflated or a split bead caused by bad fitting.
Either way, I'd want a refund!

hi guys,as[HI] the owner of a tyre outlet[/HI],this sort of thread always concerns me.if the tyre depot is a reputable one then im sure they would have fitted tyre with the correct load and speed indices,weather it is a budget brand tyre or a premium brand tyre shouldnt make a difference,niether should fail like that.weather it is the fact that it has been incorrectly fitted (which is the conclusion that every one always jumps to first)or a manufacturers defect which is unlikely today but not impossible.or maybe the tyre has actually been damaged by a pothole or a nail or something,that to is a possiblity.we fitted some tyres on a car 2wks ago and the customer went to fill up after and caught one of the tyres on a piece of concrete after doing only 2 milesbut whatever has caused the problem get it straight back to the tyre depot and if they are a decent company im sure they will do the right thing.let me know how you get on.

that sounds a goodi dea were do you get these from and are they easy to fit ?The possibility of a tyre blowout is something that always concerns me which is why I have installed a TyrePal system.
This system will give prior warning in the cab while on the move of a blowout in most cases. It monitors both tyre pressure and temperature which are the main causes of failure if the tyres are generally in good condition.
Certainly in this case TyrePal I'm sure would have warned of overheating.
Having said that Jim's flashing do da's are brilliant, but don't warn if you pick up a slow puncture on the move.

ok thanks chaps is there any were else I can get one with funster discount ?The web site is www.tyrepal.co.uk ....... and basically you replace your valve caps with the supplied sender units and the cab monitor goes on your dash. The system is wireless so needs no connections although you do have to recharge the monitor occasionally.
I agree but only any use if you have a blowout .... my aim is to prevent the blowout in the first place.
just odrered a tyre pal from there website so hope this helps in future thanks every one for your helpok thanks chaps is there any were else I can get one with funster discount ?

on the subject my hymer 694 has a flat rear tyre i took it to a commercial tyre place and they have told me that they are all too old, and the wrong tyres to boot (must be 'camper' tyres!
I need 6 at a 3100 each!!!
ouch
You don't HAVE to buy camping tyres, but as the difference from "white van" tyres is less than the cost of a tank full of diesel for all four you COULD.
Van tyres high mileage in a short time, camper tyres low mileage and standing still for months on end.
Different compounds and peace of mind.
