Good Afternoon Mr Racki
Thank you for contacting Avon Tyre with your enquiry below. We have reviewed the picture submitted and our observation of this picture is that the condition observed looks superficial in nature. Without having the tyre at the Factory for examination a specific determination as to whether the condition observed represents a safety concern cannot be made.
We would advise that you contact your tyre seller or a tyre seller/ trader in your area who can advise you.
Under consumer law your contract of sale lies with your tire supplier and you need to allow them the opportunity to handle this matter under the tire industries complaint procedure with which they should be able to explain to you. In essence they need to return the tires to us via their sales chain so that after examination we are able, if deemed necessary, to fully or partially reimburse you via this sales chain. This is standard industry procedure for trade only manufacturers like ourselves.
Please rest assured that once contacted by your supplying tyre trader, this situation will receive our immediate attention

Sent M&P an email saying they'd had the tyre since a week last Thursday and have they had a chance to look at it. Got a reply saying they'd contacted Avon the day after receiving the tyre and are awaiting their instructions.
I replied saying 10 days and no reply or follow up, it's gonna take a long time isn't it ? Why it takes 10 days for Avon to respond to an email is beyond me.

Avon wont be in any hurry to deal with this as the owners Cooper tyres from Ohio couldn't care less, had a problem with a classic car Tyre and had to threaten legal action before they would even acknowledge they had the Tyre.
For a challenging summer try the

Okeedokee, Avon have offered me a refund of 85% of the purchase price as a goodwill jesture. No comment on why or how the splits happened and no assumption of responsibility. Also no offer for the cost of returning the tyre.
I've accepted the refund but I've also commented on my disappointment in having to bear the cost of returning the tyre when it was them who told me to return it.
