Need help regarding 2nd hand tyre!


whatchain

Recommended Posts

hi all, i purchased a 2nd hand tyre from osaka motors in christchurch and had the tyre fitted by 4wd specialist on monday. i've noticed that today there was a big bulge on the tyre on the car. i want to ask if anyone knows how something like this could happen? is it the tyres fault or the person that installed it? my gf said she felt the car swaying left and right for a bit when she was driving it on the motorway. i want to get this sorted but first need to find out what is it that cause it. it doesnt look like she hit a curb because there are no serious curbing on that wheel as you can see. if it was the tyres failt, could i go back to them with the tyre and ask for a replacement? or can argue that 2nd hand tyres are not covered by warranty?

let me know whats the best way to go about sorting this. money is not an issue but i just want to find out how something like this could happen.

thanks all

It can happen from being driven on while flat; unless you or your girlfriend put air into it(flat tyre explains swaying) the tyre was already like this when you got it. It isnt safe; I would Take it back and demand a replacement.

If money is not as issue why buy 2nd hand ? dont think I have ever put a second hand tire on any thing I own,unless I know exactly where it has been then I would not do it

its my girlfriends idea with the tyre and im the one paying to fix it. i've brought 2nd hand tyres before and they never had any issue. i probably wouldnt buy 2nd performance tyres tbough. anyway it turns out it was the person(mate) that ****ed it when he fitted it. had to buy 2 new tyres in the end.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
