Husky Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 nope that was indeed me they need a tiny refurb anyway, that wheel is the worst obviously becasue of the kerbing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I cant imagine how furious you must have been when you discovered the mistake though,the kid just sounds like he either needs more training,or given the boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widest I can see is 10.5" for the s5's? the vreds have a very round shoulder, indeed they are 10.5 wheels. in person they don't look that streched, i think its more to do with the shape of that particular tyre. the caps i took off before going so they didnt lose them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, judging by the fact they quite clearly can't read, I wouldn't put that past them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I got 275 on my 10.5s and they are Falkens and they don't look that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Like i say the vreds have a very round shoulder, the MPS2's i have in the garage look much wider only due to a different shoulder shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo-ninja Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 so this is the punishment you get for taking a single wheel to national tyre thing place of doom and destruction noob lsnd hate hate hate. I had a puncture and this is what they did... being a complete noob what am i actually looking at? From all the comments i can tell the tire is on the wrong way but how do you tell that from the pic? Something obvious i am missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wood glue Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Took me a while but look at the "inner side" notation on the tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I looked at the tread pattern and thought it was facing the wrong way, didn't even see the "Inner Side" markings, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
