Pirelli tire failure on the road
This happened taking my wife to the airport. At the dealer more to see if this can be a warranty issue. Never saw this on a new tire, just retreads on semis... Tire pressure was fine, doing about 65 and heard a bang as the read hit the wheelwell. Crazy!

You can cross rotate by taking the front tires off the rims and switching them. I do that to mine every 10,000 miles. The camber eats the inside of the tires. His alignment shouldn't be off but very well could be.

Your not supposed to do this either. Each tire is different.

Not sure exactly what he is saying but I think the tire rubbing on the wheel well caused what we are looking at? He would have had to noticed the structure of the tire showing through the rubber?
