Just1Voice 24,314 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 And judging by past experience with Thai, he overinflated the new one. Link to post Share on other sites

And why has the author put it in quotes ("new")? The tires in the back look brandnew indeed. Link to post Share on other sites
seajae 16,513 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 how did he do this if he was driving at the speed limit, this only happens when you are travelling fairly fast and suffer a blow out. Also dont those tyres seem a bit narrow for a new ranger tyres, has he swapped(sold) the original tyres and stuck "treads" on to make some money, something certainly doesnt add up here Link to post Share on other sites
cornishcarlos 23,477 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Doesn't look like a blow out to me... Looks more like he fell asleep and drifted slowly into the central reservation... Blow outs normally cause a bit more erratic action Link to post Share on other sites
trainman34014 15,423 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 He has changed his Tyres and they are not the originals; they have a fetish here for 'changing wheels'. Morons don't realise when you do that with a brand new vehicle you are killing the warranty stone dead. Link to post Share on other sites
