Damn tyres!

Was planning to go out for a blast in the 964 this evening - then noticed this. Can't remember the last time my tyres actually wore out - I always seem to get punctures (although this one hasn't gone down). Two new tyres next week I guess..... :(

has that been slashed?

 

I did wonder actually. I can't see anything in the cut, and it does seem a slightly odd place to get a cut like that. As far as I know it hasn't (and if it has, it wasn't a very good job 'cos it didn't even go flat!).

That's gotto be annoying as it's not worn out yet :( - I had to replace the fronts on mine yesterday, only to find out the backs only have a few miles left :(

 

Try Protyre in Bristol Rd, Gloucester. They did me a good deal on Michelin Pilots a few years ago and seem to be cheaper than most places in Chelt. If you're too lazy then Bathwick Tyres in Kingsditch. If you don't give a monkey then Kwikfit in Albion St. Don't use the Tewkesbury Rd depot. They're useless and the balance machine is always wrong.

Looks like a stanley blade did that. Upset anyone recently bud.???

 

I've seen enough CSI, CSI Miami, CSI NY, Silent Witness to give my expert opinion that it has indeed been slashed by a right handed person in a downward motion from right to left. They had two attempts. And it was probably done at about pub o'clock in the morning. Check a few other cars down the road. Could be a serial slasher. [sHOCK][/sHOCK]

The car is garaged over night, so if it was done deliberately by somebody it probably wasn't my neighbours (and I don't live on a pub home route).

 

Guess it's just one of those things.

 

:( Unfortately it's a sign of the times. Scumsucking sob's around these days.
