Hi & Good morning, Everyone!!Â
Believe it or not...the day started with a couple of heavy showers!!Â
Anyway, juz2share what can even happen 2s major branded tyre production...

Yup, my latest acqisition... gY Duraplus tyres...Â
1. Nice tread...asymmetrical...jux like most modern tyres, even Mich...
[attachmentid=3643787]
2. The embossed info...sidewall of only 1ply Polyester...
[attachmentid=3643790]
3. The controversial embossed info...sidewall of TWO (2) plies Polyester!!
[attachmentid=3643800]
The best part is that the info on the reverse side of the 2-ply sidewall thingy, shows
ONLY ONE (1) Ply!!
Conclusion?
Tyre shop owner attributes it to "
Technical Error"...meaning someone did
NOT change the info on the othe half of some of their moulds previously used for a 2-ply model production!!Â
Probably a few ppl in the factory were negligent...
1. Guy i/c of changing info in that part of the mould;
2. Supervisor who didn't chk everything in order b4 start production;
3. QC guy who closed both his eyes & passed the products!
And, of course, TOP management oblivious of goings-on and wondering why GY sales not doing well....

ps. The production batch dated same for both, namely
1613 ie 16th week of 2013.
My bet...force transfer to outer sidewall always > inner sidewall, thats why outer sidewall 2 plies VS inner sidewall 1 ply...
I dun think it could have such discrepancy..
