    so i decided to take 1 wheel off at a time to polish and tyre shine them and when i took off the passenger rear i noticed 2 massive bubbles on the inside wall of the tyre here is a pic

    what couldve caused this and and it fixable by letting it down re-sitting the tyre and inflating again or am i up for new tyres?

    :beer chug: guys

    can be because it pinched once on a kerb while flat, other times overinflated. I had one once, just replaced the tyre for safe measure, its not worth the risk of a flat/blows a hole

    the brand is neuton.... not sure about pinching a curb, its on the inside of the tyre... ive had them on these rims for 4 months and the ex owner had them on since new and this has just happened in the last 3 weeks coz they were fine when i moved them from the front to the rear of the car... might be better off replacing i suppose, better to be safe then sory... thanks guys

    Neuton = cheap and nasty. Side wall has collapsed. Buy some good tyres this time around.

    I had the same thing with some 20" Chinese tyres. Mine were only 4000kms old, so I claimed warranty on them. I've now got continentals which weren't that more expensive than the Chinese rubbish.

    continentals are a pretty well known tyre, I think they are pricey and thats only for 19's

    Best to replace those tyres.

    I bought these for the fronts.
    eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d

    Use a continental mould i heard from memory. Great grip, very quiet and reinforced side walls (early versions of it had side walls blister after 40000kms or down to treadwear marker)
