? - go on I won't post again - I give up - you can have the last word - otherwise this will go on ad infinitum

See, your learning. Now run along.

Obviously you replaced them as a pair... So rolling radius is irrelevant...
Or have I missed summat

Think so ....

Just for info.

With a new right side rear tyre;

Accelerate hard, the car drifts towards the white line. (Uk obviously)
Abruptly throttle off, car drifts towards the kerb.
Steady throttle car goes straight. Ish

From the top of page 3 there's discussion, although slightly unclear, as to weather or not a pair of rear tyres will be required. Cem appears to imply "not necessary". Although he could be referring to the cost.

One tyre has been fitted to get the car back on the road. And it took them two days to do that

The other tyre may be fitted today locally if it comes in. If not it will go on end of next week.

So the strangeness now being experienced could actually be a justification to fit in pairs

[chrisgixer]

There was also discussion prior to this thread as to the value of tpms.

Given i had;

A total of about 60 seconds, from the warning of noise of a foreign body stuck in the tyre scraping round the wheel arch liner, to standstill. (Sadly I didn't know what the noise was at first)

About 30 seconds of which was pulling the car up in a safe place.

It's clear if I had had a tpms warning within the first 30 seconds I would of been able to stop quicker, before the tyre was running on the rims, and save myself a large bill. The tyre could of been repaired otherwise.

To sum up.
Effectively, one foreign body/puncture has cost £400 ish (<insert the value of YOUR tyres here) in two new rear tyres. Tpms would of prevented the tyre BEING DESTROYED, as I could have stopped earlier before the tyre ran totally flat.

 (Ok they where down to the last third of wear but this could happen with a new tyres just as easy)

Always replace tyres in axel pairs.

I would think so.

But I will be in a position to confirm absolutely, when the second rear is fitted.

[05omegav6]

Aye

And you're right about it happening at any point... I know someone who fitted a pair of tyres in anticipation of his MoT only to get an advisory for a nail in the edge of the tread of one of the new tyres

[chrisgixer]

Aye

And you're right about it happening at any point... I know someone who fitted a pair of tyres in anticipation of his MoT only to get an advisory for a nail in the edge of the tread of one of the new tyres

That's annoying. 3 tyres for an mot

Although the puncture only cost him one tyre, I suppose.

I can't wait. Start another thread

Or not...

It still holds air, so he's going to try and get as near to 20k from it as possible
