And you would never guess in a million years what was the fail....if i didnt give you a clue...

Theres four of them and one of them failed......

[TheBoy]

Tyre?

[Taxi_Driver]

Tyre?

Correct  But the big question is why?

[TheBoy]

Because you drive like a, err, Taxi Driver

Runflat with a puncture?

Runflat with a puncture?

Nope.....and a taxi driver would never fit run flats....think budgets....but that wasnt the reason for the fail 

[TheBoy]

Well, a tyre can fail on ( I believe )

Visible damage
Insufficient tread, enough to make it not road legal
flat

Can't think of ought else?


I though Passats were RFT

Wrong  size?

[VXL V6]

Directional tyre fitted the wrong way round?

[Taxi_Driver]

Wrong  size?

You got it 

Three tyres are 205, fourth was 215 

Which i had put on 3 months ago, because of a nail too close to side wall.....but why it was a 215 is beyond me....i dug out the invoice for the tyre, that says i bought a 205.....so either tyre fitter was a complete idiot and blind or they didnt have any 205's in stock and put a 215 on it on purpose ..... either way 3 months down the line i carnt go back and complain 

I could have put the spare on to get it thro the MOT (which got an advisable) and swapped them back over later ..... but as its up for sale i would rather have all its tyres 'ok' than stitch a buyer up.....so it got a new 205 budget

Why not? - you have an invoice for a 205 and a 215 fitted - do they not want ongoing business from you and possibly lots of other taxi drivers?

If i'd have spotted it within a few days, then yes i would go back......but 3 months later....they could say its another tyre.....and not fitted by them....
