Hi Guys,
Had this Tyre removed to have the wheel refurbished, looked inside for any damage and spotted a crack all the way round inside. The tyre is 255/30r21 btw.





Guess its new tyre time? Could this have been caused by the tyre removal?

Looks like under inflation damage or the tyre not beefing the correct load index rating. See it a lot on rangerover and vw campers with oversized rims

Thanks, looks like was running under inflated at some point. Correct load rating.

Any small rubber marbles in the carcass rolling about?

Definitely looks like under inflation.

255/30r21? Would it look any different if it was flat?
