Problems with Michelin Agilis Camping Tyres after only 5,000 miles (1 Viewer)

Thank you for reporting back what Halfords said. In my case, which were car tyres, the bulges were causing wheel imbalance and had to be replaced. The tyres were approx. 2 years old (according to manufacturing date on side wall) and had covered approx. 20k miles.

even though your tyres were still safe , they were unusable due to the budges making them harder / impossible to balance correctly , so that is surely something a manufacturer should replace without question.

I've inspected a few tyre's during my time racing, but usually approaching at speed through the gravel trap

We once hit a gravel trap at Donington so fast, sideways, that there were was gravel inside the side car tyre even though the tyre was still inflated!

That sounds like a fisherman's tale!

I know but honest guv. We were amazed and it had turned right over but landed back on its wheels leaving my driver planted in the gravel on it's way over.
