Somewhat prophetic! Got a chunk of glass in the rear tyre. AA man came out at 6.30 and put a bung in but looks like a new tyre is needed and he said no more than 40mph and no further than 100 miles.

Sods Law is an amazing thing. The 40mph restriction sounds a bit OTT - OK you may not want to do 200 miles down a M-way at 80 on it, but I think 50 -60 mph will be fine for a bit. At least it keeps you mobile - the snag can be that if a new tyre is needed, it can need ordering as Maxi tyres aren't the most common things around. Tyres can be permanently plugged in many (but not all) circumstances but its a judgement call whether its worth it depending on how many miles its done already etc.rayb wrote: Mon Nov 18, 2019 2:18 pmSomewhat prophetic!

The lanes I take to the dealer are mainly 40mph max in current conditions, so I'm not unduly worried. The tyre has around 6K on it, so I'll get a new one.MrGrumpy wrote: Mon Nov 18, 2019 3:03 pmSods Law is an amazing thing.
