Tyres after Teeside

Post by quattroboy » Fri Apr 27, 2007 7:59 pm

Just noticed today how little tread I have left on my tyres after teeside. This explains all the aquaplaning from the rear end, up the motorway, and why Mac went by laughing at me :lol:

Those chunks are a bit worrying! Someone (Simon I think) told me that happens to the bridgestones. Good excuse to get yourself some AD07s mate! :thumbsup They make a big difference!

I assumed you had stopped off with the guy in the MNR!

Never thought for a second it was due to tyres/weather. The A021R's worked great on the se7en.

Ditto Dezzy about the AD07's too

Then your being a big blouse behind the wheel and not getting the tyre "roll" across the camber change under cornering :D :D


Remember the demonstation using the girls purse in the pub last September?


:wink:
