hawker1986 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Hi all, So Tuesday night I was driving back home along the M69 and had a rear tyre shred itself at 70mph : Luckily it was fine and no one was hurt, changing a wheel on the hard shoulder at 11pm by iphone light wasn't much fun though. Turns out it was a nail, think it had deflated the tyre and it was running flat and just killed itself. The strange thing was the car felt fine, and all respect to the Zed when the tyre gave up there was a lot of juddering and noise but it kept running fairly straight and didn't try and kill me!! Anyway just thought Id share my little adventure Hawker Edited July 10, 2014 by hawker1986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Holy sh!tb@llz :scare: I saw one delaminate on the motorway on a lorry recently, had to emergency stick the foot in to get passed and dodge the flying rubber chunks. Loads of drivers were flashing and waving, lorry driver didn't seem to notice. Edited July 10, 2014 by SuperStu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
