I Got A Puncture :(

[davey1825]

Took our little girl to the works kids Xmas do the other day, came out to a flat tyre. Took the loose wheel to a tyre garage (how nasty is it when you need to get the spare wheel off the winch cable and the end bracket will not pivot to allow the bracket to fit through the hole in the middle of the wheel due to rust, done it in the end tho!), and they said that the screw that had punctured the tyre was too close to the wall to be repaired so i needed a new tyre...........aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh, christmas has cost me enough already!!!!!!!!!! those of you who have seen the piccy of my wheels will know why, they are 225 45/17's so they are wider than the equator!! So replacing it with another conti was out of the question as the missus is bleeding me dry for all sorts of presents for everyone ;) . Got a result in the end though went to a tyre wholesalers that i used to work in back in 1999 as a result of a college placement and cheekily asked if they would sell me one, which they did, ended up with a ??Wanli?? tyre for

At least you can lay your hand on a replacement part fairly quickly! at the moment my Galaxy is up on the ramps awaiting a set of custom anti roll bar links to be made ;) due to the amount of drop I run the standard link bars are four inches too long! as it would take a few days/weeks this time of year to get a replacement set, a standard set is being cut to size and modified to fit :D

 

ps. thanks for the offer of your replacement set Steve ;) will let you know how these modded versions look ;) for when you need another set :lol:
