This morning around 9AM we sent off 2x rental GS's and 1 GSA on a trip to East Transvaal

Just when we were readying to go play a round of golf Joe phoned.
About 80km from when the rentals left the rear Mitas tyre on the GSA delaminated seriously.
Trudie and I offloaded the golfcart from the trailer and loaded an Anakee tyre in the boot and left to assist them, already waiting at the Petroport on the N12.
Fortunately the workshop guys at RedStar raceway were present and they could do the swop for us.

The tyres were fitted new on Tuesday and we rode less than 600km on them before handing over to the Clients.

Tyre pressure from the fitting was at 230

But what I am very concerned about is that the tyre was fitted new on Tuesday and has not done more the 700km when this happened. One can see on the closeup the cracks in the tread adjacent to the delamination. The rest of the tyre tread looks ok.

Is this common?
