This has probably been discussed before(unless I'm getting a bit of de ja vu) but have they put softer rubber on the sides now for the storm 2? I knew obviously they'd hardened the centre but I thought that was it. I could never get my original storms to snot up, even on the hottest days. In the mildly temperatured, misty wet/damp yesterday they've shined up great, loads of bits of rubber and unbelievably sticky to the touch.

recon you need a letter going off to the manufacturer there mate, still it was nearly worn out, but that should never happen on the unused part of the tyre.

Must have gone over something to have made a hole in the first place, as theres plenty of tread surrounding it.

A very strange occurrence. i'm sure if it was a common defect someone on here would have found out by now!

Never seen it before, I reckon a very odd defect or mechanical damage. Certainly nothing to do with wear.

i'll be picking up a new one 2morra for the AR so we shall see what its like back to back with a MK1. the mileage has been a bit disappointing with the MK1 to be honest just shy of 4000 miles and its mostly the centre that has worn.
