Bizarre RR Velar tyre issue
Discussion
The noise will have been the tyre carcass failing, either due to specific damage, or just uneven wear.
A similar thing happened to me with my M-B CLS. A strange rumbling noise for a bit at motorway speeds, then tyre pressure warning and a trip to the hard shoulder. Tyre was completely shredded.
In my case, the factory geo means that it wears the very inside edge of the tyre (actually quite difficult to see without really getting under the car) through to the cords in places. I'm now alert to it, so have them checked regularly. Annoyingly the rest of the tyre normally has loads of tread!

All tyres are part worn as soon as you drive away for the first time, whether they are or not is not relevant, they were quite clearly (assuming both failed in the same way) badly damaged to the carcass & have failed in use.
Surely the relevance is if they were bought as part worns with unknown provenance?ConnectionError said:
