Yesterday I was having a my tires installed by the same shop that has done my last 8-10 tire changes. The service guy comes in with my rear tire and said it was delaminating when he tried to put the tire on. He showed me on the tire machine the tool itself along with the plastic bumper to protect the rim. All looked fine to me and I felt to see if there were any rough edges that could have caught, but it was all smooth. I contacted Dennis Kirk and sent them in a couple pictures and they sent right back that it was operator error and not covered. I insisted they see the tire in person, otherwise I was out $130 some bucks with no recourse. The gal I spoke with said that process could take months to complete only to turn into the same decision. (Interesting that they already made their decision as not to replace it.)
Anyhow here are some pics of the damage. Your thoughts?
