HELP! 15" spare tyre needed please.
« on: May 09, 2011, 01:46:44 »
Every picture tells a story, eh?
   
   

   
   Unfortunately, on the Greyhound`s first real run out, we picked up a huuuuge screw which has destroyed a previously perfectly good Michelin 185 x 15" XVS(93H) tyre.
   Does anyone have a surplus similar tyre which we could purchase as we currently have 3 Michelins & an Avon fitted, and NO spare!  [:(]
   
   Anything would do as long as it`s legal.
   
   Please send a personal message by clicking on my username.
   
   Thanks in advance,
   Nik.[:)]

The hole caused by the screw would have been an easy repair, but damage to the sidewall was considered too bad by the tyre specialist to allow my Dad to even leave the garage with it, so he had to come home with a bare rim!!!
