Just surfing around for some new tyres and found this

http://www.michelin.co.uk/uk/front/affich.jsp?&codePage=66_18062007122214&lang=EN&codeRubrique=66

Dunno how old it is (no date) so sorry if everyone's seen it - but might be useful if you haven't.

maybe they handle differently on a storm but they are the only tyres that have wiped out on me .....
I'm 100% bridgestone now...

My m8 at work had it happen to him it shredded a layer off the tyre at over 100 destroyed the front guard and ripped off a brake line:eek2
Fortunately he was on a straight at the time and managed to stop:thumbup:doh

I had a pirelli do this on my mk2 escort rs1800 years ago, car felt like it was slidding on black ice, with the rear trying to overtake the front.

that was scary enough, so fook it happening on a bike.

Believe its called delaminating.

Happened to a Dunlop 208RR i had on, 300 miles old and delaminated, it went flat on me but over a 30 mile journey

Dunlop sent me a new tyre with no explanation or apology, never fitted them since, i did not like them anyway regardless of the delaminating episode.
