Federal RSR delamination/splitting
Discussion
Hi guys,
I run an 1989 BMW 3 series track car, weighing 1100kg.
It has the standard 15inch BBS wheels, fitted with 195/50/15 Federal RSR. I’ve had them on for about 8 months/2000 miles and a crack has appeared in each tyre, running from inner to outer side wall.
I contacted the (reputable) company that I bought the tyres from and I’m being told that, I need to remove them immediately.
Apparently the reason they have cracked is because the tyre is incorrect for my car in terms of size and load rating. They also mentioned that I may not have given them the correct heat cycle to cure the tyre(?)
I think this is b****cks, but I’m happy to be proved wrong. Anyone had this happen to them?
