Guest gzaerojon Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 just notice a slice in my rear tyre, they are not fitted to the rim yet. looking up close there is still lots of thickness on the inside and it doesn't look like it's gone through any cord. looks like a stanley knife slice when removing packaging, it it was deliberate then it would be all the way though will i get away with it do you think?

Kranz Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 If its through to the cord its illegal. If not its your risk! Not worth it IMHO. Edit £188.80 at Mytyres Conti sport contact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I think everyone feels the same Jon. It doesn't matter how small the damage is, you'd be taking a huge risk. Can you imagine flying down the motorway at silly leptons and then boom!! Seeing a car, barrier, embankment, car barrier, embankment and then wondering whether saving a couple of hundred quid was worth it as you wonder what you will collide with next!! . Sorry about the lecture but i am the master of pissing on my chips by trying to save a few quid!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gzaerojon Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 i think i already knew the answer, you guys confirmed it it's nothing i've done with a knife as the tape is still on the tyre. just about to order some Michelin pilot sport ps2 (part worns) the reason im going for part worns is i'm just about to book the car in for some new tubbies (oil seals went end of last summer ) and i need to save as much as possible Edit: anyone use Michelin pilot sport ps2? what are they like?

Guest gzaerojon Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Deary me, you spend so much money on bling and body kit yet are cheap on the most important thing on your car, the rubber! i know, but just over 1k on rubber will hurt at this stage (i forgot to say i need front tyres too ) actually i feel kinda embarrised to have even started this thread as i would've probably said the same as everyone else has if it were someone else starting a thread like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
