oupssssssss .... today was an expensive day, how often do you check your tyre pressure ??? ive just gone on to 17in alloys the tyres never looked flat, oups how wrong could i be, for a week i must of been driving with a tyre that was slightly down .. car handled the same as always until today at a roundabout,then out she slide. kept it under control an drove straight to the tyre centre to check it out . once there found 2 holes in the tyre no probs they could be repaired they thought until they took the tyre off.found more rubber dust in the tyre then brake dust on the alloys the reinforcement on the side walls was breakin away sorry mate this is goin to hurt your wallet or bend your credit card i was told so just a warnin to anyone else just gone on to bigger alloys or even just bought a new car check them more often i know i will from now .. funny how we always do things after the horse as bolted ...

Glad it was only a new tyre you had to pay for....
And what do you mean - you were actually going fast enough to get the car to slide??
