Oh my god! That looks really nasty. I can't believe the tyre did that after only 1500 miles, personally I would got back to where you got it from and complain. You don't expect to pay that kind of money for a tyre to have it do that to you. What make of tyre is it?

 

[steve740]

the tyre looks like it mustve gone flat beforehand and then it was driven on. I used to work in a tyre depot and see it happening all the time. Couldve punctured it first without realising, then carried on driving
