Nails! I hate nails..........
So there I am giving the beast its sunny Saturday wet love thing when I spot a nail! In the tyre! in between the side wall and the tread. It's got little bubbles all around it!
 So of to the tyre shop. "O dear sir, have to be a new tyre; and guess what? we don't have one, but can get one by Tuesday".  Onto next one.... "O dear sir, have to be a new tyre; and guess what? we don't have one, but can get one by Tuesday" Then to Pro Tyre..... "o dear sir, have to be a new tyre; and guess what? we have one, just one and you can have it for £245 fitted and balanced". Moral of the story? When you buy 4 wheels with good tyres don't buy them with expensive tyres; because you may have to replace them. I only paid £110 more for the whole 4 wheels and tyres!
