Tyre Blew Out From The Inside Of The Wheel

[Mano25det]

Hey guys, I have had my R33 s2 1998 for around 3-4 years now, And I purchased it stock, one of the first things i did was put on new wheels, I bought some RoH Mantis Gun metal grey like these http://www.bgworldwheels.co.nz/images2/mantis2.jpg

18 inches and i have some Toyo Tyres on them i think they are 255/40/R18

and all has been fine, i have been through some tyres before i think i have only actualy bought around 2 sets of tyres in that ammount of time but i do not drive a lot.

So long story short. My rear drivers side tyre looks like it had been rubbing on a shockie but there is no evidence of this accept for the inside of the tyre has blown out. and this has not happend before. and my vehicle is standard height,

I think the tyres that came with it were 255/40/R16 and the Good Year guys said they are fine for the vehicle, has any one had trouble like this?

Whats your alignment like? more than likely the cause of the problem.

If you put up a picture of the tyre it will be easier to tell what caused it to fail
