Just been out to the garage to put some more sealant in my tyre as I noticed it had gone down.

Haven't seen one like that before, looks deliberate but there's just nobody who's been in the garage that'd do that.
Also looks like its come from the inside but then again if something had been stabbed into it then it'd maybe pull it like that on the way out.....
Psycho mouse maybe?

Keep 'em peeled
Thats what happens if you dont remove the stans monster periodicly.
Jealous partner?
Bullet.
17hmr.
There was a man who was caught having "sex" with bike wheels (I'm not willing to Google it), maybe he's back and likes a tight fit.
You don't actually have a penis, do you?
That is [i]odd[/i]!
Defect in tyre wall? Still it looks too round.. I'd expect more of a split.. Well I'm stumped..
Is there a matching hole on the other side?
No entry wound on the other side?
Looks like some sort of nematode has bored through the sidewall.
Possibly a Maxxis Hookworm.
Ah, my coat!
long shot...
something like a hawthorn branch or nail/ piece of wood. somehow stuck into your side wall and then ripped out as it hit your frame? big enough to do the damage whilst small enough that you didnt notice at the time?
tis odd indeed. no jealous partner, no entry hole other side either, and the strange thing is it has to have happened whilst stood in garage. if it had been whilst being ridden it would have been flat straight away.
only other consideration i can think of is that its been stood next to a motor bike my lads just bought (or should i say [i]we've[/i] bought), but theres been to tinkering on it or anything yet, and theyre not touching.
Not sure about having a green garage floor?
Has the motorbike been fired up? Hot exhaust touched the tyre briefly?

no painted floor, thats actually the top of a wheelie bin 🙂

motorbike has been fired up but just ticking over for a while and not moved, so wouldnt have touched the tyre.

I can't vouch for the phantom bike shagger, but let's just say I'm happy fat bikes have become popular. 😉
Did you check the other side for an entry hole?
Something went in, got stuck for a while, then blew out under the pressure.

Not sure 30psi could blow a hole that big in a reinforced bit of rubber. Did the motorbike kick out a bit of hot carbon or bit of baffle?
Looks a bit burnt round the edges?
On the upside, your lad owes you a new tyre.
Check the garage door very carefully inside and out. Any comedy mouse shaped dents?

theyre side by side so id guess not......
Looks like a burn to me.
Someone having a cheeky smoke in the garage?
Sunlight refracting though a jar on a window ledge?
Why is that bit wet/greasy, has it had something dripping on it?
