Sorry but glasshouses was definitely a personal pop!

But hey if you lot dont take safety seriously carry on.
Just remember that your tyres are the only contact with the road and without good tyres you cannot turn or stop safely.

Yep your right...but brakes are also useful, correctly tightened wheel nuts too and every thing else that is bolted to the chasis for that matter!

Not intended as a personal pop but take it whatever way you want. You seem to think that a lot of stuff on here is aimed towarda yourself. My point was aimed in general. Anyway answer my question.....have you never done a similar thing in your past (nottyres in particular but a similar situation) ??

been there,!! on the M6 in an imported Mazda marvie..cant be as stupid as i look as i managed to get the car safely into blackpool using the handbrake and gears( with kids in the car wasn't easy or maybe the best idea but it happened) ive also had my engine blow in a vectra doing 80 in the outside lane on the M4 ( again kids in the car )..i coudnt have predicted either situation . i think its how people react to mishaps that causes problems while driving a lot of the time..panic wont help,how many people see a cat/dog/rabbit and swerve??  :shocked: F** that! sorry bunny rabbit if you run in the road youre having it..always expect the unexpected when driving, even if the car has a full service history and mick the mechanic gave the car 5 stars the day before! complacency costs lives! - says she who runs bald tyres  :rolleyes:
