Tyre Advice by gonkin(m): 7:54am On Jan 05, 2019
Please i have an issue with my tyres
My front tyres ive been using for ages and no issue at all but my rear tyres is starting to become a headache.
I changed both 4 months ago cuz it was making my vehicle wobble. After changing it functioned smoothly for a while smooth driving the shaking stopped. Sometime around December the wobble came back. And i was just wondering if the tyres i bought were expired but my tyre is DOT3516 and 4215. The 3516 has a weird crack now, this same crack appeared on the previous tyres although i saved one of the previous tyres as spare.
Please i wanna ask is it wheel balancing it needs cuz the tyres were fine but after sometime the problem resumed here are the pictures.
The previous tyre is the one i use as spare. Has a similar crack. Please help and advice. I also need tyres

I know they're gone. The previous tyres took me from lagos to delta with no issues but due to age and some unknown issues it started bending
Now this is bending too.

check your rims if they are bent. Then next is if your car is a RWD then check your suspension parts.

This happens only at the rear something is happening there, probably your chassis is bent hope the car wasn't in a recent collision

Both rims cant be bent at the same time.
Its a solid axle truck and solid axles are very durable. Actually the tyres were used. But what im worried about is the wheel balancing i diddn't do. Also i looked back at the cracks. The crack might happens when ever i over load and i lifted 11people. I intend to get better tyres and balance the wheel

rear alignment of balancing is very rear except your car has an independent suspension or its a rear wheel drive.

But you can still do it though, it's not that expensive then buy quality tires and confirm. if you have alignment issue one tire would feel the effect more than the other, but yours is both sides.

11 people at an average of 70kg = 770kg, that's still within the limit of a truck except you were carrying 11 dead bodies also it's a 1 time thing not regular for a long time.

the crack could also be clearance issue, body touching tyre

Did a check and its just a1 tyre. The bad one the other is fine.

Note i mentioned the vehicle moves fine when i changed the tyres although they weren't new but i believe a new one and wheel balancing would solve it
