Tire splitting at rim

Von Shark · 07-17-2019, 09:36 PM

Looking for advice on a split tire. Do I need to replace it?
I am in LA area. Car is not a daily. Looking for advice on tires for SoCal. Tire shops?
Probably going to keep the oem rims for now. I like to hit up the 2 & 33. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Contacted Dealer as tire shop advised me that this is a warranty issue.
Let's see what happens next. Guess I'm driving the Honda.

Holy crap dude, I've never seen anything like that! Hopefully the dealer takes care of you!

That's pretty crazy. I don't know how good continental tire service is, but hopefully that's covered under "manufacture defect".

Dealer replaced tire no charge. No hassle trouble free service and checked all tires for issues.
M town was at dealership while I was waiting for the car so I got to drive every M. So fun.
Very thankful. Put the Honda back in the garage.

not sure why you would even question replacing a tire that is split/coming apart. ...

I don't want to talk down an entire brand but I've had nothing but horrible experience with them.

I've never seen that before and honestly didn't know so I sought the advice of this forum.
