Why I don't use REMOLDS
« on: 03 July 2009, 23:48:24 »
I was doing 70 (ish) mph in the outside lane of the M6 a couple of weeks ag.

There was a bit of vibration!

Then BOOOM!

There was a bit more vibration   :D



Never liked remolds, you see them all over the motorway

those aint technic tyres are they by any chance

i worked for a garage that was a main fitter of these technic tyres
there was speed rated as normal but i would never trust them

the amount that came back with faults with tread seperation and great big bulges where the inner side wall had broke apart

very dodgy tyres
don't trust them

Offside rear, held quite straight, slowed down reasonably quickly and headed for the hard shoulder.
