So today, in order to get rid of the Continentals on the back of my car quicker, I swapped the newer Hankooks to back. Took the nearside rear Conti off and not only is this 2 year old tyre (max) cracking down the insdide of the tread, there's a bloody nail in it!:swear:
Bay very hoppy! Lol! :s
The off side wasn't as bad thankfully, but it's still going to cost me to have the puncture repaired and it's finding the time too. Plus I'm not sure they'll repair the tyre because it isn't in very good nick. It's got loads of tread left too! :confused1:
And a tip for anyone, the wheels are a nightmare to get off. There was all this c**ppy stuff roung the hub thing, literally glued the things on! So I got some abrasive cloth, cleaned them up with a bit of spray solvent and greased them before refitting the wheels. A bit of WD on the nuts too. :thumbup1:
