John_M Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Yep, that was me! Rear wheel blow out! 2hrs waiting for recovery truck to find out he can't get me on-board due to low approach angle. Then another 1.5hrs for a fully demountable unit to come out from Aylesbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supRo Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 Hope there's not too much damage on the alloy John. I knew I should have come back with a flask of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_M Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yeah a blow out aint good is it? Are you replacing both tyres or just one?TBH when it went it wasn't too bad actually! Replacing both with G/Y Eagle F1s when I have looked around for a good price (blackcircles @ £212.60 each). Hope there's not too much damage on the alloy John. I knew I should have come back with a flask of tea.Little scuf on the inside of the rim so got away quite lightly. You forget how noisey the Motorway is until you stand by the side of it for a couple of hours. Had a blinding headache by the time I got home.

michael parker Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 http://www.mytyres.co.uk/start.html Try here mate wouldn,t bother IMHO, ordered tyres from them about 5 weeks ago, only to find they end up getting nicked in the postage Had to sign a form stating i hadn't received them and send it off to Germany (mytyres.co.UK ) And had to wait for my refund. Fair play they are very cheap, though i was unlucky with my order :thumbdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Bad luck John, good job it wasn't too bad though. I got my 4 F1's from mytyres.co.uk and yes they came from Germany, but had no issues what so ever and very fast service and about £40-50 a tyre cheaper than elsewhere. I know where I'll be buying them from again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
