It was Father's Day, was reading over the Rimutakas & the right rear blew out, so much for Michelin run flats!! yes I would really like to grab the tyre off you, as will fit as a spare, so I still have a full set, let me know if I need to take it off the rim, can pick up & sort that Thanks Barry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad you're here to complain about it, Barry. The 'Takas could be a challenging place for a blowout. Indeed, it appears they're not runflats; the combo of rim and tyre was supposed to give better performance for the (comparatively) lower profile, and be less-likely to peel off the rim in failure. There was (apparently) a TDX (different rim and bead profile) that gave some runflat capability. cheers 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Autoglym 255 Report post Posted September 18, 2016 You are correct, they where fitted maybe four years ago & the date stamp on them dates them at 2002, so yes they are 14 years old, but have travelled maybe 3000ks?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted September 18, 2016 well there is your problem. I have some minty TRXs here, i am using them as a stand for my emergency water tank, too dangerous driving on 15 year old tyres and i ethically will not sell sh*t tyres be they crap brand or dated. just a pet peeve i have i guess. keeping a car original is fine, but tyres are the one exception even on a classic.

I agree Andy, that's is why I have been searching for rims since I purchased the car in December, just wanted to get the right ones if you know what I mean, there are plenty of rims, but I am a fussy git!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
