New tire ruined

[12 DEG BEN 0]

Short story. Clipped my doorstep moving my car today. The slab bit the toyo wall taking an inch or so of rubber out and nicking the rim. The tires a week old. So angry and stupid at the same time. This new one replaced the other semi new one that got a broken drill bit in it. Thats my luck right now. I know theres a section in here about things going bad but couldnt find it in a hurry. Story over.

Bad luck mate, even worse with it being a new tyre :( How bad is the rim, or was it literally just a nip?

just a nip on a wheel thats been done once already. Really bothers me bunging a new tire though.

if it's any consilation I've just had a nice letter from Transport from London telling me I owe them £50 in the next 14 days as I forgot to pay the congestion charge :(

 

I'm also getting fed up of lifes bad hands!

Ah, paying for the roads that you have already paid for! Surely my road tax should go down as I never use central london? Its all give and take isnt it. but no, its take and take.

Reminds me of the new wheels and tyres I put on the car, I had only covered 10 miles and hit the apex of a corner, couldn't avoid the rock sitting just at the side of the road and it took out 2 tyres and dented the rims. The thing is I knew I had hit the rock, but didn't really notice any difference for a couple of miles and thought I had a slow puncture. The rock split the sidewalls for a couple of centimetres. I was very impressed by the Kumho tyres running flat and used them ever since.
