Another first...

Postby kevinod » Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:32 am

... but not a good type of first, got my first puncture on the FTO today, just as I was arriving at work. Started getting some strange creaking from the rear left suspension and a bit of a rubbing noise.

Could be worse though, its only flat at the bottom... :P

Popped out earlier to change it, that spacesaver looks really strange on the back. I didn't realise the spacesaver tyres were made by Toyo! :shock:

Its a recommended max of 50mph/80kmph on these things isnt it?

I stress tested my one up to 130kmph .. when I forgot I had it on :-( didn't blow though...

But you're right they look wrong - and cornering in the wet is a thing you'll only be dreaming about...

Put two of them on the back and you'll have a drift car. May be a little hairy though. :lol:
