DaddyDub Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Kinda worrying stats. Goes to show you can check everything on your own car but if someone else doesn't and their car is not roadworthy, theres gonna be an accedent, and you might get caught up in it.

Rachel Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Pretty scary. Bald tyres are the most common "defect" you find here. Second is different tyres (brand, tread, etc) on each wheel, then third is underinflation... I always do a walkaround before getting in the car and check by eye for an obviously low tyre, and a check with a calibrated gauge every week... The great thing with the R32 is that a pressure change across the front of the car will instantly convert to the steering pulling in the direction of the lower pressure tyre. I've noticed it with as little as 1-2 lbs difference. Could my behaviour be described as anal and be in the minority minority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty scary when you're drivng behind a car on the motorway with a under inflated tyre! Always makes us smile here at work when an ignorant tw*t books a car in for "Tyre light on" and it just needs some air!!!!!! It's your driving pleasure and more importantly LIFE! thats at stake.
