Possibly a knife and want of e new set of tires? A convenient crash and easy blame because he said he had tire problems a few weeks ago.

I don't see how somebody could cause something like this to occur. He would have had to have them in a vacuum and been going 100mph.

It just baffles me. I don't see how it could be anything other than manufacturers defect..

I am just over 10k on my pilot roads and theres plenty of tread left, the rear has flattened out a bit but I try to keep the pressures a bit higher for all my commuting.
