Warranty of Tyres

Case 2- Puncture_ run flat

 Not a manufacturing defect, since it was a puncture, and especially if it is a run flat from a puncture.

Running flat is a situation where the tyre is not inflated/ or inadequately inflated, an...
d the motorist continued driving.

Commonly, it is when the motorist did not realize that the tyre is punctured and is so low in air, that the rim/ wheel is running or cutting over the tyres. In these circumstances, the abrasion into the tyre, results in a collection of "tyre dust" when the tyre is removed from the wheel.

In extreme cases, the wheel would cut through the tyre- that's when you see those tyre with no sidewall lying by the road.

Tyre Warranty- What is covered, and what is not?

 

Warranty of tyres...what is covered, and what is not? Follow the next couple of posts, and we will showcase some real encounters and explain in layman terms if they are in fact manufacturing defects. But more importantly, it is great learning experience.

CASE 1- Puncture
One of the most common issue faced by motorists for their tyre. And for a start, the moment there is a puncture, or a puncture related defect, it is not covered by warranty.

In this particular case, the embedded nail had its tapered top worn off, and it was hard to spot. The driver continued driving not knowing there was an embedded nail. In this particular case also, the air leak was possibly very slow, and it resulted in "seepage" of air and water vapour into the various plies in the tyre. Ultimately, the various layers separated, resulting in bulging of the tyre.

Drivers in such cases usually notice the problem too late, when the car starts vibrating (sometimes violently), or when the tyre concerned starts producing loud "flapping" noise.
