Not content with my rubbish brakes...

Look what else I managed to bust on the car yesterday:

Notice the marks around the tyre? :| it gets worse:

Ouch!

So my car as it stands looks like this:

I don't know how or when it happened, but I'm glad i noticed it, wouldn't like that to blow on the motorway at 70+ :S

Luckily we were near my friends house who had a trolley jack and a tyre pump, and my spare looked like it had never been used. I must admit its weird on the front now...

Drivers side: 195/45/15
Passenger side: 175/60/13 :|

No fast driving till I get my tyre replaced then!

Sorry you had a tough run James. That's no good at all.

Yeah good luck getting it sorted ASAP.

Thanks mate, luckily I've managed to source a Toyo for Monday morning, and gonna get the new brakes on too while I have the wheels off. I think I'm gonna be taking a day off work though, don't really want to drive too much with unbalanced tyres, its pulling to the left badly!

I'll post pics of how I get on in the morning.

That is some chunk out of the tyre James !!
Must have been something very nasty for sure.
Bad enough when you get a flat but when the tyre is destroyed also that sucks.

Yeah, speaking of nasty, I just had to drive home (40 miles) in the fog and rain at 1am! I didnt go above 60mph the whole way! Got really good fuel economy though lol!
