Tires

It was high time for me to change my tires both funding and time was a factor with so many things taking place. Also not like the tyre shops are open after 7pm? I wonder If I would mane a ton of money, if I open a tyre shop after working hours. Having known how babysiew had the tyre thingy in her not so recent blog, I made the effort to go and change it before any more serious repercussion could have taken place.

This was its current condition of wear and tear. Horrible!!! Vadai should have been more responsible



























The new Tyres on!!!










So Inconjunction with that here is a brief extract on tyre ( my one call chamber wear woh!!)





Illustrations And Explanation For Tyre Wear

Over-inflation has resulted in the central tread area being forced into contact with the road causing rapid or crown wear.
