NO not speed bumps, traffic island. As to how it got stuck there is a mystery to me too. Actually slashed tyre in 3 places, one where 20cent was and 2 slashes on side wall. Will post more pics soon.

Troll, sorry to hear that... questions:
1. The wheels.. are they just scratches on the rims or it damage the wheels?
2. Those space saver spares, check to make sure there is normal load rating.. I don't think it is safe for heavy loading.. e.g. Airport trip..
3. How did that 20cents get in there..
Also, when uploading to imageshack, you can tick to the resize box and reduce the size of the photos to 640x480 would be good to the forum...
I might help you do it this morning.. my internet is damn slow.

I think the space saver spares are rated to not go over 55mph.

ANSWERS:
1. Damage, cos it went POP literally and had to slow down and pull aside which was another 30-50 meters. Show you the other slashes in tyres later.
2. I was on way to airport, so had no choice but to continue the journey on space saver, but was doing like 40km the rest of the way there and back home.
3. God knows, only thing i know is it was there.

Just as well it wasn't fify cent - 50c. Thats freakish though.
Max speed on the spacesaver is 80km/hr but as its as wide as a bicycle tyre you were right to take it easy.

but there is no load rating on the spacesaver right? Load limit 560kg. Stamped on the Skidstone sorry Bridgestone tyre. The space saver runs 60psi pressure!!! |
