    De Lamination or Scuff Marks?

    I had the opportunity to check out a tire coating I recently installed on a customer's vehicle. The tire coating I used was the Pinnacle Black Label Tire Clear coat.

    The tires were brand new and cleaned really well when I installed the coating.

    I figured this could be a great learning opportunity for us here on the AG Forum.



    Whats your take? Delamination? Curb check?

    Definitely looks scuffed from curbing. Look at that wheel and you can tell how talented that driver is.

    Also, applying a coating to brand new tires is not recommended, you should clean them weekly for a handful of weeks and don't dress the tires. Only after about a month and a half and 5 or 6 good cleaning you coat. This is to allow the mold release substance to be completely removed from the tires before you put something you want to bond well to it.

    My vote is on scuff marks since they seem to line up with the curb rash and damage to the wheels.

    The damage goes way up the wheel. Looks like the owner side-swiped a really tall curb or short barrier.

    EDIT: I took a look at the pictures again. As if all the wheel damage isn't enough, if you look at the marks in the last two pictures, they are pretty clearly made by something scraping the surface of the tire. You can see very uniform, straight, lines caused by the texture of surface that caused all the damage. No way that is coating delamination or flaking off.

    Scuff marks without any doubt.

    I mean look at the evidence. Driver clearly drives on curbs based on the amount of damage on that rim.

    Thank you for that info on the timing for the mold. I’m putting new tires on the wife’s car tomorrow and was planning on coating them but couldn’t remember how long to wait.

    Reminds me of the old "curb feelers" they used to put on cars. Lol

    This driver could certainly use a set....
