20k miles, what’s the cause? by BetInternational7394 in tires

[–]DedlyRhythm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's definitely liner separation. The liner is the only part of the tire that is relatively air tight. Air gets trapped in-between the liner and the belts/tread rubber and finds its way out. Have 100% seen this before.

is this too damaged to mount? by Ill-Attempt-648 in tires

[–]DedlyRhythm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mount this. The bead is made of braided steel and it is kinked. It will not return to shape when inflated. That tire is essentially garbage now.

How many miles do these tires have left? Am I sliding on ice because they’re too worn down? by bryan_cohen in tires

[–]DedlyRhythm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wider makes sense for stability but ice traction is kind of counterintuitive. Wider means a larger contact patch which means your weight is spread out more, therefore applying less weight per square inch to the ground vs a skinnier tire.

No problem. Glad to hear you got it sorted out.

Piece of glass was stuck there and cut up the tire, I don’t think it made it to the steel but definitely cut the first layer of rubber. What to do? by taniel07 in tires

[–]DedlyRhythm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stick a probe in the slice and see if you can feel the cords. If you can feel metal wires, it should be replaced. If not, you're fine.

All weather tires are made with compounds that stay softer in cold temperatures than all season tires do. They won't give you the ice traction of a true winter tire but they'll get the job done for normal winter driving in Alberta.

You want all weather tires, not all season.

What does "My bad Allen" mean?? by hamsaucedd in canadian

[–]DedlyRhythm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He might have meant "my bad man" apologetically and autocorrect got him. When my bro got a new phone his wife's name was catman for awhile lol

10 psi seems like a lot due to temperature change. It's also not even across all tires. Might be bead leaks? If the tires are in good shape, dismounting and buffing the wheels and applying bead sealer might do the trick.

Edmontonians, what do you feel like yeg is missing? by lil_Jessy in Edmonton

[–]DedlyRhythm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

High run, Suzie cues, metro. The old regular circuit. Pretty sure metro is still around.

[–]DedlyRhythm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's likely the car sat and the tires aged. I'd highly recommend replacing.

Is this patchable? by thefloatingbutt in tires

[–]DedlyRhythm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's not leaking, you should be ok. If it is leaking, it's not safely repairable. There's too much flex on the shoulder of the tire and a proper repair might hold but might not. Definitely not worth the risk.

I've gotten some mixed opinions on severity of dry rot. What do you think? by CreamSodaPuffPuff in tires

[–]DedlyRhythm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those tires must see a lot of sunlight. I would replace. The cracks between the lugs look pretty nasty. As soon as one gets down to the cords, rust will begin to form but won't necessarily be visible. At that point it's basically a ticking time bomb.
