Sounds good, got to be better than trying to puncture the tyres!
-
A sneaky way of getting the customer to take it to the main dealer/other garage for a service?
-
Problem you have now is no cars run this size of tyre now.
If you don't have them in the lot you bought can you get them in?
Yeah but they won't be cheap.... Maybe consider changing to a different size?
They're the same size as what I had fitted at Kip's, 40 quid a tyre if I remember right.
What size could I have then that will be roughly the same aspect ratio?

Cheers...I'll keep me fingers crossed then!
And toes........... 175/60-13 :graduated:
He couldn't have something easy like 155-13..... Oh no he has to get one of the rarest 13" tyre ever made.....
Oh! oh!! you still reading this.....
Don't blame me, blame Peugeot! I need to replace the tyre that had cracked on the inner wall...no one has part worns in that size!

Got an update on this? I could really do with the 13" tyres if you have them...
What size 13"?
See the second post

Great thread Tony that will answer a few questions
Regarding the speed humps though, if you drive too fast over them surely this can do something to the geometry or would it just knacker the suspension out?
You would need to be going "stupid fast" to hurt the suspension..... You think about the length of the coils compression and the fact this would need to be fully compressed before the chassis is damaged.
I've always driven over speed humps slowly for fear of damaging the suspension or knocking the alignment out....so you're saying I don't need to do this?
You mention coils, what about those cars that don't use them on the rear? I know someone who had broken a rear shock on a renault driving over humps.

Looking good
What's happening with the mezzanine then? I want to fit me camber kit!
It's all orderd and due for install in...................................... Two weeks
Guess you won't be open before I'm away then, the 27th?

One of the caternails tricks with the A048s ( http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Yokohama/Advan-A048.htm ) is to put them on backwards to give them a little extra bite.
Not entirely sure how or why but I've seen enough of them doing it.
That's interesting but surely it defeats the point of them being directionals...they must have been designed this way for a reason?

Where could you get rose jointed ones from then?
-
So in wet weather the tyres would not work like they're suppose to...so could be dangerous to drive on?
If this was a fault of a garage and the owner was oblivious to the fact the tyres had been fitted incorrectly and they had an accident, do you think the insurance company could refuse to pay out? That's if they spot them.
I always thought that regardless of whether the owner knows that something has been fitted correctly or not, it's their car so they should make sure it's roadworthy and legal at all times.
-
Was stuck in traffic this afternoon and I was looking at a few cars parked up when I noticed on one of them the front directional tyres were on the wrong side!
What affect does this have on the handling of the car and tyre wear? I'm assuming it would be an MOT failure as well?
-
I can do 0-60 in half an hour!
Good time mate, be fun at the lights if you get any chav's egging you on!
-
I didn't know you were going to do air con, will come in handy that
Getting there slowly though
-
Nice one Tony :angry: What's the powerflex logo on there for, can you get these as well?
-
Dunlop have seen this thread and asked Mr Live wire for the tyres and they will refund him all expenses? I have no idea why since Dunlop were never to blame, although this image of their tyres is not good for business.
Maybe they didn't want him to be out of pocket...very noble of them I'd say
-
No other companies you can try for the flooring then or was this the best one you found?
-
How much work is involved in building it then?
No chance of having the shutters fitted sooner then?
-
Hopefully something will come of it then although I'd imagine it will be a slow process.
How they can deny there is a problem is beyond me, the photos speak for themselves!

Yeah but wouldn't they will use it all cars, regardless of what tyres they use, as it will be a safer way of stopping them?
