Title: Quick answer needed!!!
Post by: trotter on December 11, 2007, 01:22:24 PM
After my blow-out antics on Friday, Im in urgent need of a new tyre.

Got my supplier sorted, just need to know if there would be any issues with having a brand new tyre on one rear, and a nearly new (with lots and lots of tread) on the other.

Don\'t really want to blow my diff into a million bits!!

T shouldnt be a problem BUT whoever is fitting new tyre should check your other rear one to see if ok,also your blown tyre if you still have it incase they can tell what caused the blow out

Yeh--- fine for road use, particularly with rear wheel drive. Keep it calm though - no doughnuts (no doughnuts ever! - is my advice).

No need, already know...the \'wobble\' that I felt earlier in the day was like the feeling you get when somethings stuck in your shoe. Must\'ve been something stuck in the tyre as a result of my late-night drift sesh round the Vicky Dock roundabout last Saturday......

- thx for the advice all :Thumbsup!

Resistance to doughnuts is both character building and saves your car to be become a boring old fart in many years later.
