Constant Bulge On My Tyre by phemocheee(m): 7:53am On Feb 08, 2019 |
Please I need your suggestions. I use Acura TSX 2005 with tyre size of 215/50 r17. Over the last one year, I have changed my front tyres like 3 times. I bought the tokunbo tyres from Ladipo. However, I noticed that each time I run into pothole, my front tyres often come out with bulge by the side. Someone said it was due to the aspect ratio of my tyre/rim but I'm not so sure about this. Is 215/50 tyre spec bad for Nigeria roads? Please is there anybody that has experienced this before and what did you do to stop it. |

Have u tried new tyres? Tokunbo tyres are dangerous. The three times u changed the tyres would've gotten u a new tyre and u have some change. |

By new tyres, are you referring to the likes of Michelin, Pirelli or are those China tyres okay? shortgun: |

phemocheee: Over inflated tyres. Your tyres should be inflated to 35psi max cold air inflation pressure. Also slow down when you get to a bad portion or bump. 1 Like |

Thanks and I totally agree with you. However, I'm only worried that it's happening to me too frequently compared to other people. kingreign: |

phemocheee: I think he’s answered you. Over inflation is the most likely cause. I had similar experience as well. Always tell the vulnizers to not exceed 35psi and If possible get your own gauge. |

phemocheee: Always buy new tyres, even if it's "Double King" or "Sunfull". |
