Has this been mentioned on the forum? I can't find anything on the search.
Any thoughts? Corsa G+ are my go-to, but at the moment I'm running Turbo Cottons. The latter are ready for the bin (through delamination rather than wear), and I was just about to buy another set of the former.
I'm not sure whether this is scare-mongering or a genuine issue - there seems to be no scientific evidence to back up their claims, to the point where they're kinda leaving themselves open for the finger to be pointed back at them.
Really don't want to buy black tyres, but also really don't want the sidewall to blow out.
(FYI - I have non-Enve carbon rims)
