theyve been on a while i spoke to a guy who works in a wheels place on wheelwhores and he was telling me this is how it will of happened different brands do it worse than others main cause is the profile being so low you cant tell when the pressure is a bit low it may look inflated but only have 10 psi so therefore munches the wall to bits, and the stretch putting strain on the wall and getting constantly twatted by potholes etc etc,

im going to go from 215 to 225/35/19 to take a bit of stress off the walls and run pirelli p zeros as there stronger than federal shite

thats the thing mate i looked at mine when i got them off some were worse than others and i thought hmmm they might last a bit longer like that but its not worth the risk its dangerous they can go any time its like a time bomb
