Tyres & humour

[S2red]

OK sad I know but I amuse myself at traffic lights loooking at tyres on adjacent cars and shaking my head at the C##P tyres people cut corners on cost and put on powereful decent cars but had to laugh yesterday when a police Panda car drew up next to me with Dunlop SP FAST RESPONSE tyres just about wet myself at how apt the name was for car.

And if one of the tyres gets a puncture the copper will just look at it and say..."You're nicked"

I am guilty of this - have got 4 complete ditchfinders on the Zed at the moment - only bought the car in January with 4 new tyres on - dealer wasn't for taking some cash and fitting what I wanted and I am loathe to chuck out brand new tyres when the car isn't really getting thrashed anyway.

Will be putting some new rubber on for the summer though

I can see how it's less important on a shopping car getting driven by old Mrs Finchpie at 15mph but there's an XKR that sits on Ingram St round from my office proudly wearing a set of Wanli tyres.

Most huge SUVs with 20" rims seem to have cheapo replacement tyres on them too, not ideal for stopping 2 ton of metal in the rain!
