Rear Tyre Damage – A Blowout Waiting to Happen!

Customer Reports Noise from the Rear – Here’s What We Found

At 1Stop Motor Shop, a customer brought their car in after noticing a strange noise coming from the rear. After a full inspection, we found a severely damaged tyre – they were extremely lucky it didn’t result in a dangerous blowout.

What Causes a Tyre to Fail Like This?

Damaged and worn tyres can lead to catastrophic failure, especially at high speeds. Common causes include:

• Under-inflation – Low pressure increases tyre flexing, leading to overheating.
• Pothole or kerb impact – Can cause internal damage or sidewall bulges.
• Age-related wear – Cracking and degradation weaken the structure.
• Incorrect wheel alignment – Uneven wear increases the risk of failure.

Why You Should Never Ignore a Tyre Noise

• Blowout risk – A damaged tyre can fail unexpectedly.
• Reduced grip and braking performance – Especially in wet conditions.
• MOT failure – A worn or unsafe tyre will not pass an MOT.
• Legal and insurance risks – Driving with unsafe tyres can result in penalty points and fines.
