Dad, my van is making a funny noise when I do 80
OK, my lad is a mechanical numpty, but even I would have expected him to spot this reason.
 Why did you take it off, I would have driven it to where I get tyres err. just a tad too dangerous  Not exactly his fault. I checked his tyres last week and they were all within legal specs

I would have just kept it at 70.

Well I checked round the wheel arch and could not find anything loose/hanging etc. I think he has probably overloaded it and bounced off the pavement. The photos do not show it, but there was a pronounced mark where a chunk had been torn out, the rest seems to be a de laminating. The tyre was a reasonable make (Dunlop). The problem is that to save costs he had fitted "part worn" 3 weeks ago. Therefore the history of the tyre is unknown

Re: Dad, my van is making a funny noise when I do 80
Part worn is asking for trouble. Probably not even a Dunlop anymore.
I've seen some shocking restuck tyres, might as well put a load of rubber bands around the wheel. Least he's home and nothing went wrong. Just remind him to check the rubber more often. (and he didn't get pulled). |
