Default Seems it's time for new tyres

My g/f is off out in Porstmouth or Bournmouth or somewhere like that this evening. I was thinking about driving her down there - and then I could take the scenic route back. Got the car out of the garage to give it a clean - and caught sight of the rear tyre. I actually have a feeling I'd seen it before but forgotten all about it - but a long spirited evening drive doesn't seem possible now.

I have always replaced my tyres as a set of 4 - however, I seem to get repeated punctures (even though this tyre is staying inflated) and can't remember the last time I replaced them because they were worn out. So I think this time, it will just be two rears. As usual - they are only part worn.

Part worn, I guess they'll be turning up on EBay then.

Rather than chuck them away, I'm thinking of taking my old D90s along and getting them fitted to them. When I replace the fronts, I'd end up with spare wheels with tyres, which might me more useful than spare wheels without.

Oh well, there is some good news - the advantage of 16" wheels. New SO2's, £99.88 each fitted. I can live with that.
