Just what you need on New Year Eve at 7 in the morning! I can see it costing me a new tyre too.  :'(

Bibendum is only smiling 'cos it missed him.   ;D

Looks like a new tyre needed but they might do a temp repair, given you only do short, low speed journeys until payday...  :y

I put a pair on mine a few weeks ago Andy.  Goodyear F1's, £230 fitted and balanced.  Kinda took the edge of the Christmas shopping, though....

A temp repair isn't really practical given that I don't need the Omega for work & most of the Omega's use is when towing the caravan. A rear tyre going while towing isn't what I'd particularly want.  :y

I'll drop it off on my way from work next week.  :y

Mr Michelin Man waving & a big M is a bit of a give-away!  ;D  ;D  ;D
I've never had any problems with them, & I've had a few set via Costco over the years.  :y
