Torn bead, damaged fender... Who to blame

MadViper · 03-12-2018, 05:04 PM

I was at the track yesterday, first time with Hoosier tires in my M2 and suddenly I hear some weird noise. After exiting the track y find out that my front tire has a torn bead that’s produced some cosmetic damage to my fender and panel.
Now I’m trying to figure out who is guilty, Hoosier? Tire Rack? Tire mounting shop? Or me because I did not do the proper break inn to the tires.
Tire pressure at the time if the incident was 29 Psi
Let me know what you think went wrong

Sounds like your tire pressure was very low.

Low tire pressure let it peel away under stress, such as maximum load in a turn. An uneven surface may have made it worse.

Low pressure does not do this. The bead was most likely torn during install and centrifugal force took over from there.

I’d go with the tire company. Tires are suppose to be rated for certain speed etc. this just looks defective
