Unbelievable What Some People Expect From Tyres

[Guest]

I took the Zuk Vit to get a puncture repaired and a new spare tyre today( the wife asked for a tyre for Christmas)
While I was there I spotted this


The tyre guy said a pikey had come in and said "I think I've got a puncture cos it went down last night. Can you repair it for me"

This is why it went down


Fortunatly it was on a twin wheel van so it wasn't too bad but still, how can you not notice when you check around your vehicle before you drive off.

Must admit, I got a Z6 rear on my K12 a bit like that when I got a bit too enthusiastic on me last Picos trip [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif[/img]
Amazing how quick those Z6's go from OK to zero tread - 250 miles from hitting the wear bar, this [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif[/img]
I did the last 150 miles from Portsmouth to home at 50mph max, needless to say !
Here it is on the right, next to the part worn one I put back on to replace it

That's the only tyre type I've ever worn to the canvas. Won't be getting one again.
