2011 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Fuji White

I had a blow out on a rear tyre that was nearly new and completely undamaged.... only doing 70´ish mph in my MY12 RRS

The car masked the blow out so well that the first I knew of it was the wild fish tailing which I just about brought under control but would not of been so confident over that speed....

Frightening is the only way I can describe it......

Do you really really want to chance it....

Tread looks a tad thin as well, looks like 4 new boots needed. Try Dan at Duckworth, he may have some new take offs. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

depends how deep the cut is. Best to go to your local friendly tyre shop and seek their advice.

New tyre now ordered! The tread is not too bad on the centre of the tyre but the shoulders seem to be quite worn; they are Continentals if anyone is interested!

Tread looked OK but when compared to actual wear mark, it probably only had another 1000 miles left on it! Other side just as bad - another new tyre on order!

A wise move would be to increase your tyre order to FOUR and get the tracking checked.

Front tyres only changed in March but good advice about the tracking!
