I thought this one should be in Tyre Talk section?
You can check some of my posting over there. I have suggested other alternative brand for people asking for opinion on Neuton.
My friend's bad experience alone, this is not the first time I have seen such Neuton. Thanks God you're fine as its hard to imagine if this happened at very high speed.
Being a new tyre, it's look more like a manufacturer defect to me. Just look at the damaged line. Sharp object piercing does not cut this proper. Rim looks okay so acceptable driving speed when this occur (personal opinion unless the tyre shop arguments below apply  smile.gif ).
No warranty though as they will argue you driven the car on muddy road even though its just driven over a grass on the roadside during rainy day.
Other argument is prior to the damage, you may run that inner sidewall on potholes or rough side. Or suddenly swerve to the asphalt edge at high speed<<<Tyre shop's arguments point as usual.
I know most tyre shop will pump at least 240 or even 250kpa on new tyres. I usually pump higher kpa after run in period.

the most i was pushing it within the 36 hours timeframe is 110km/h. the mud was only there because when i felt that there is something wrong my wheel, i emergency parked my car in grassy area and it was raining a bit.

you're right. called the shop and their argument is exactly as what you have commented. sigh.

Wow...what kinda Neuton is this? I'm using neuton nt8000 so far very good & the best bang for buck I ever spend. Comfort & mid performance tire.

yeah, i kinda feel that way too. but i don't expect it to shred open just after 36 hours.

i was a solid believer in nexen n8000 and up to today..i am still. i have shifted to d5 good year f1's because of a single fact - NEVER EVER SKIMP on tires for your precious car.
That's the only thing that holds the car and using cheap tires like neuton or ATR sport is just asking for trouble if u are a high speeder - ie 100kmh and above. there is no mesh on the sidewall for support and always...almost always the sidewall will give way

i was on goodyear asy f1 before.

yeah, i must admit the "it is cheap and what can go wrong with a piece of rubber" sentiment got me last friday.

i'm opening this just to get comment on whether the cause for what happened is cheap tire and not manufacturer defect.

What's the manufacturing date on the tyre? Overdue maybe? Plus "what's the retail price on one of those?"

I Googled it and found it to be American tyre company so that reminds me of the infamous Firestone incident.

1013. i don't think it is overdue.

no matter how i look at it, it seems like u causes it.
anyway, my 2 days old continental cc5 come along with the new elantra also burst on 2nd day. all i did was cornering at 60km/h, masuk medium sized potholes, and wa lah, both left side tyre front and rear pecah whistling.gif

exact same damage like yours, only that mine was cut open on the outside

good for you as both of yours GG.

my 2 years old asy f1 at the front escaped unscathed. well, maybe i was driving to slow at that time as only one tire was affected.

for me it looks like the tire no pressure ald then u drive for a distance
so there is a mark at the sidewall there

normally tire warranty doesnt cover sidewall damage , so pls dont go argue with the tire shop
they r seller and installer , if come to claim u need to sent back to supplier place!
u can ask tire shop guy sent to claim and wait the report

but tire is wear n tear item , normally b4 tire busted tire will bulg first ,unless the impact /sharp object kena ur tire

i didn't mean to offend anyone.

i am sure that if it is punctured, i would feel the slight wobbly but no. it just wobbled and i immediately emergency parked my car.

yes, i was a bit upset that night & the following morning but come to realized that seller has nothing to do with this. i have accepted that it is an expensive lesson to be learned. i have punctured my asy f1 a couple of times and none of the incident shred it useless.

i can only say that this is the last time i'm going with cheap tires.
