Well I have had quite alot of travelling to do over the past few days and I have done over 600 miles.
Anyway went to see Peter Kay in Sheffield last night and then had to travel to Accrington to see family. Woke up this morning to find a flat tyre! Marvelous I thought.... although it was at least the tyre close to its limits.
Anyhow I was in an unfamiliar area so I asked a taxi driver where I could get tyres. He pointed me to Ishrams tyres. Ok so off I trot.
Arrived and they said no problem i have a part worn £20. Ok ill take it. Out he pops with the most worn just legal tyre I have ever see to which I say "sorry not having that!". Minutes later another tyre is produced a new pirelli. Ok ill take it... how much? He wanted £60... Dont think so.... I said £40 or nothing... much hesitation he agreed.
So he changes the tyre then rolls it back. But he hadnt balanced it. I asked him to balance it and he said rears dont need balancing... no I said you WILL balance it.
All balancing done tyre fitted off I went.
Got back to find a recently refurbed Titan with two inch line of missing paint.... NOT HAPPY
