False Economy: Buy Expensive Tyres Not Budget Kak!

[Robert Bruce]

Here is the car minus any dignity waiting for the new knicker elastic tyres to be fitted. Poor thing! Looks so sad to see her perched on four jacks instead of on the lift at the usual tyre supplier. This place was once a petrol station with attached service garage. Now it's a side of the road new n used tyre supplier.

Unfortunatey I need to return there so they can sort out the very worrying vibration at 70 -75mph which was not there before. Maybe they need to learn about balancing the tyres.

Robert ,,  badly made tyres  can never be balanced .. trust me .. my one brand  new  Opel had all  5 tyres  (Firestones   made on a monday morning .  as well can you believe  it ?? )  they all had  the same defect...  and  they could be balanced and a few days later   would be out of balance as the  sidewall bonding was defective ,, in fact that they did not disentigrate  under  stress was a miracle ... take them back  they are a safety hazard .. think of your  family  travelling with them cheapies  " holding them onto the r oad .. Nah sooner   return and ask for refund ...

Sandy - good advice. I am returning there tomorrow.
