Old tyres - food for thought!

Post by RMS » Tue Jul 16, 2013 9:26 am

An inquest on a coach crash last September which killed 3 people blamed a tyre which was nearly 20 years old.

Apparently, the "abnormally old" tyre had been "falling apart internally for months".

Makes you think about what a lot of us (me included) are running on our old Land Rovers, doesn't it    :embarassed:
