Old enough to know better
I caught a flat on the front off-side today. Tyre popped when i drove up a 8" curb i hadn't seen whilst manuvering to avoid a jam. The back off-side also developed a bulge in the side wall. I fittes the spare steelie, are they 14"? It was well worn on the outside edge
As the rear of/s was damaged on the nw meet it was time for new tyres.
I went to kwik-fit as it had to be done asap and it's Sunday. They had some with imitation toyo tread so i got them. £273 with fitting, valves, balancing and a charge to dispose of the old ones.
It's my first set of 4 new tyres. They were all different before. Now the drive is much quieter and hopefully with better economy. They filled the tyres with nitrogen which i hadn't heard of before.
A guy came in saying he'd just got a nail in the side of his nearly new pirelli 6000 which it turned out was unrepairable and cost 110 to replace, ouch!
