Ive got about an inch long pocket of rubber coming away on the brand new pirelli in a downward patter at the rim protector...i would say about 1mm thickness worth

Do you think this is something i should get the dealer to look at? To be honest i noticed it not to long after collection, but forgot having just noticed it again... Mike

Not worth the risk leaving it. You will need a new one. How was it done? Did the garage do it and did nt tell you? though they wont admit it now.

Got a picture Mike.

Thanks...I'll give it a go, Mike

yes and no, from me.

Well its been logged and we going to leave it to see how it develops - if it does worsen then its recorded and should aid the claim, i was happy with that, although possibly preferring a straight replacement Mike

never needed to - so no.

Have you got a problem Mike

2014 Facelift Discovery

Yes,

I bought a set of new Landrover take off wheels/tyres Pirelli SCORPION ZERO Asimmetrico from about 4 months ago, I put the wheels on about 2 months ago and as far as I am aware I have never gone over a pothole, kerb or anything. I have done about 500 miles with them. When I washed the car at the weekend I noticed I had a buldge on the front and rear nearside tyres.

The rims are totaly unmarked as are the sidewalls. I am very dissapointed if this is damage caused by normal road use.

I had on contis for a year before and apart from the well documented edge wearing out syndrome they were fine. MY 2014 3.0 SDV6 HSE Dynamic

Sorry to hear that

The issue I had wasn't a bulge and came from the factory though so it was probably a very different thing? Mike

If you have bulges then you must get them changed they are not safe. This would be a mot failure. If it was on a hgv you would get an immediate prohibition and until they were changed the vehicle would not be allowed to move.

I know, thanks for your concern MY 2014 3.0 SDV6 HSE Dynamic
