Janos:
Was thinking of going onto Michelins this year, and prior to your post 8legger was wondering if they would have suffered the same sort of damage.I don’t have any photos of ours but all of ours have torn like in your second photo, It makes flaps on the tyre and the tears go down to the wire. We only seem to have problems with fronts and super singles, the drives don’t normally tear even though they lock.
That will be because most braking effort goes through the front.
TBH I wouldn’t like to think how many brake tests ive done in the past ive never seen any issues like this ( although its been a long time since Ive been on the spanners )
I have seen a block like that missing from a tyre before but only the odd one just put it down to it being a dodgy tyre etc in the past
