Without trying to get a reaction then surely DXB would have experienced split inner walls & more so than anyone else due to his own admission of getting 18mpg & driving hard.
I believe DXB was replacing his tyres before they got to the wire.

BTW, you don't have to drive hard to get inner wear, you can just make it more rapid. A lot of stop-start driving can also be an accelerator for the inner wear. As can a lot of 'push on' driving in the twisty bits. The camber settings are not going to help, however we drive.
