Special K 442 Report post Posted June 10, 2014 Godammit! .. wandered off to bank a few cheques at lunchtime today, turned left at roundabout and the n/s/f went 'pfft..' (note to LFA = Charley Browns..) I managed to limp to my 'regulars' A&S Tyres who are only a couple of hundred yards away.. blurry nail through tread/sidewall interface... yeah, it could be repaired for road/MOT pass use but no way for TSS.. They had a new 245x45x17 Palm Sport 3 in stock! Hooray! Price? - 150 sovs. Boo! I beat up on the kid who fitted/balanced it - "OI! I want it fscking microgramme right, you muppet! I'm pulling 140mph on Sunday!" (I must apologise to him next time I visit...but I was in grumpy mode..) I'd only had this tyre on for 200 miles, I am gutted. Such is my misfortune at the moment. ... what next? I'm guessing the 747 Jumbo transporting my new gearbox from the US is highjacked.. my modified sump is mistakenly sent for scrap... Superpro bushes are declare carcinogenic... TEIN go into receivership... Fensports ramp is condemned... they'll quadruple speeding fines... .. I've still got one bullet left... heh! who shall I use it on....? (.. and if anyone has the uttter gall to make jokes about a 'cereal' misfortune of events I shall dump a gallon of used sump oil on their head..) ... it only happens to ME!

LFA 68 Report post Posted June 10, 2014 I'm guessing you went round the roundabout once before turning left I am sure going sideways increases the opportunity for sidewall punctures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted June 11, 2014 What's a 'Palm Sport 3'? Is it some kind of TDF? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
