Well i went for bit of as cruise today out of town to Rotorua, and on the way home i had one of my rear tyres blow out! Pretty scary as i was on the open road doing 100km/h. When i eventually got the car in a straight line to stop i inspected the tyre, i saw the WHOLE inside wall had blown out from the rest of the tyre!!!

The tyres were bout 6months old and had a fair amount of tread, anyone got any ideas as to what would cause this? The tyres are Nankang NS2 225/35/19.

what size wheels

if its a 9...id say that you had an improper alignment, which irregularly wore one strip of the tire, where it blew out and separated

ive seen it happen before

if its like a 7 wide, id say bad luck

but if you hvae a streatched tire and improper alignment, it is unsafe

Has the tyre been slightly under inflated recently. Being just a couple of PSI down on a low profile tyre will chop out the internal side walls very quickly due to the constant flexing and squashing.

Check the inside of the other sidewall when you get it off to see if it has any rubber flaking off it

225/35/19 i would keep that size tyre at least 35 psi

id reccomend 38-40 personally becuase it has a stretch on it

Join the club mate, I had the exact same thing happen to me, except I had a trailer full of furniture on the back. It's because of the camber on the rear wheels, it wears the tyres unevenly. If you've lowered it get adjustable camber arms, otherwise a camber kit can fix it.

and dont forget, when you lower it, it also messes up the toe

horribly

camber wont wear tires

i ran my car (the 180) with almost 4 * of negative camber for 6 or 7 months with no irregular tire wear

the Toe is drastically effected by the height of the car on the nissans rear setup.

Both Humble & l have blown rear tyres exactly the same way ... and the same shitty tyre brand too.

According to my guy at tyre centre its more to do with the tyre's than camber or toe. They're just cheap tyre's that are known to blow quickly.

i know guys that have ran -5 to -8* of camber on their rear wheels on large VIP sedans...and no irregular tire wear after a year.....

Without getting into the argument of camber and tyre wear, the above qoute is correct. I went from -2deg camber to +2deg when I installed a double camber kit. (theory was that each single kit added only 0.75 deg camber) At the same time the toe went from -1deg to +10deg. The car was downright dangerous to drive, especially when you hooked into a corner and the weight transferred to the outside wheel - which was trying to steer the rear of the car around to the front.

The problem comes from the toe adjuster arm which sits in the lower/middle part of the suspension control arms. The camber kit pushes the top of the tyre out, so the toe adjuster arm effectively pulls the rear of the tyre in.

Still, I cant see how this would cause a tyre to blow. Tyres can wear through to the first belt without too many worries.

Plus, I always run 40psi..just my 2 cents worth

How can you say that WON'T cause irregular wear?

Your tyre spends 80% of it's life running on one corner.

you have to understand

a normal tire lasts what 40,000 Miles? so thats almost 70,000 KM i think (i dont know the conversion off hand)

If after 10,000 miles there is no uneven wear, its normal

it would take 15-17,000 to show heavy uneven wear on a hard compound tire

ill show you, i am ordering my airride friday, and ill keep a report with huge amounts of camber and tires wear

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
