Reply To: Part-worn tyre fitted days before 70mph motorway crash

[Richard Bruce]

its all a shame! we do not fit part worn tyres as my public liability insurance does not cover me and I have to declare each year to them that I do not fit part worn tyres. so how any one else in a professional capacity can do this is beyond me, also if repairing a puncture if the tyre has been already had a previous repair [easy to spot!!] I will not carry out a second let alone a third repair. I would be holding the person who fitted the tyre responsible. Budget tyres also should be banned we have customers with £60k of cars who request budgets !!!!. the owner should also be punished for buying a cheap tyre and putting not her life but other at risk. should social services be called because she did put her children at risk by putting them in the car and driving with the knowledge of a part worn tyre being fitted!!. on another note ref tyres I also get customers coming in that have had tyes fitted at a tyre specialist!! with the question why do my tyres keep going down the answer is simple all it needs is and extra 5- 10 mins spent cleaning the rims and don’t use that black Shit.
