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

    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways. 
    • Holy hell! That is absolutely stunning! Great work!!!
    • It does when you start adding everything else in. But it's not just compute. It's the logic. Getting your timing right (I'm not meaning ignition timing for the engine). Making sure of your memory mappings, seeing your interrupts. Microcontroller devices only have so much capacity. For the most part, you want all those timers and interrupts in use on your engine control, which means you're left with less than ideal methods for timing and management of other control functions.   Let's put it this way, my job is all about building custom hardware, that goes into cars, and integrates with them. We're also waiting on a media confirmation from SpaceX too fora world first we've just completed with them in NZ too. It's not just the little toys I play with. But you know, you can think and believe what you want.
    • I don't think it's a good buy, the trend looks bad     lol.
