My entire car is like that! It's for driving, not cleaning!
Unless the dirt is interfering with the mechanical functioning of the car, it stays where it is. Must have been 4-5 months since it was cleaned

Tyres were perfect tbh! Only have one left now, but they had plenty of grip and lasted quite a while
At the moment I have an odd mix... there's some Avon tyre on the NSF, NSR is a Vredestein Sportrac (like the one in the picture), a Dunlop something or other (my original spare) on the OSF, and a part worn GSD3 on the OSR that I bought from a guy on here a month or so ago

You have an entire car of different tires! lol! Bet thats fun as one comes into good range, others go off alittle and they all act differently to water etc 
I thought they were ace at first, but 2k later, the back end skips everywhere and is just not there anymore. Full set of T1R's on my OZ F1's in 15" are day and night over them. Even though I utterly hated T1R's on my 16" Turini's!

Must just be how you drive
I like the back end to be a bit slidey.
The tyre from the first knackered rim is being swapped on to the current spare. Then I'm gonna buy 2 brand new rears so that they match. At least that way I'll be back to matching on both axles

I've only ever seen damage to a tyre like that occur when a coil spring is broken

I'm fairly certain the coils are all fine. Looked fine when I had the wheel off on Sunday anyway
i want to agree.
I assume all the tyre pressures are correct ? Could of just been that one, picked up a puncture on the journey and the sidewalls overheated.

Stay away from cheap tyres, looks like they have disintegrated on you, i had same problem with cheap tyres on my focus st, tyres had only done a couple of thousand mile, only on the car for 6months, looked perfect until very close inspection of the sidewalls, they were literally falling apart, cracks around the sidewalls, very lucky i spotted it before they blew out. After doing some research i found out they were apparantly 'single ply' sidewalls, and apparntly thats not good, anyway, lesson learned, dont buy cheap tyres.
