How not to drive!!!

[Andy_con]

nothing needs to be said!!

 

[Leeshez]

Too fast against the kerb?

 

[TheCake]

Thats fooked.

 

[Andy_con]

5mph, against a high kerb and it was one of the sharp adged one, not the smoothed round ones

 

[Kiev85]

i done the same to one of my front wheels...

From now on...i ONLY reverse park...point the mirror away down so i can see the kerb..

All the people behind me can wait..

 

[blue nose]

[Clio 1.216v Dynamique]

It is really easy to do

...i ONLY reverse park...point the mirror away down so i can see the kerb..

[Andy_con]

£210 for two tyres and tracking (might as well get two new front tyres)

although renault cressing said that the pilot tyres arent made anymore and they now sell the replacements?????????

 

[White16valver]

Did you ask what the replacements were?? lol

 

[TheCake]

Maystar Formulas or something equally shite lol

 

[I-PatH]

I got two a couple of weeks ago.

 

[jayxx83]

Elite direct in Rainham stock them. There are Micheline Pilot primacys too, pretty good. That tyre looks like it needed replacing anyway.

 

[e.sport]

OMG! Hope it doesn't cost too much to fix :-(

bullshit andy!! did you actually go to renault to get it done or just asked for a price?

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

You can get Pilots from anywhere. They'll never stop making them as they're the world leading road tyre !!

 

[Andy_con]

bullsh*t andy!! did you actually go to renault to get it done or just asked for a price?

not change of plan, went to a tyre place and they said not to worry to much. Ive not damaged the strings in the tyre, they said just to move it to the back but keep an eye on it for now.

so saved me 200quid

 

[Thomss]

Oh man

 

[kully]

oh dear

 

[Da]

i have an alloy forsale if you're interested mate?

 

[DynamiqueDebz]

You can't drive with a tyre like that! That's really dodgy, don't do it! I really do feel for you, some damn curbs are way out of order for cars. I'm a stickler for reverse parking too. Scuffed my alloy slightly on a high curb in our town, well was peed off.

 

[Frasers Cup]

I kerbed my front alloy to fcu* the other week. Ended up having to buy a spare from renault at £125 as I didnt have another wheel. So easy to do if your not paying attention. Maybe worth getting the tracking checked just to make sure, as that looks like quite a heavy impact.

Well said Debs.

Damaged tyres should be replaced immediately.

 

[Englebert]

My cousin had a tyre like that on his 1.216v. Was dead about 3 days later on the A2

Yep, damaged tyres have a habit of going when you least expect them too.
