Deffo ask for a refund on that as a manufacturing fault. You can see you've done barely any miles on it.
(Thanks for the headsup on the Schwalbe One offer. Bagged in 30mm to run instead of Hyper 35mms, as they appear to be discontinued and can't face the brown ones!)
J0nathan-
Aye, Merlin who I got them from have shrugged it off as "probably something sharp got caught*" but have thankfully passed it onto their distributor.
*I think this is bullshit, I was riding with 16 others, no one else suffered anything and yeah, there was nothing which obviously caused the tear.
I have done some reading up on those Schwalbe Ones and they seem really well-regarded, I might get a stash of them!

I've no idea. I was going quite fast but I could see in front of me, but the lane was quite pot-holey but I couldn't see any glass or other debris. And yep, inflated to 90psi (Corsas in 25 flavour).
By the time I stopped and took the tyre off there wasn't anything embedded in the tyre.
Basically that'll teach me for using nice-looking but ultimately fragile tyres.
