i realise the tyre on the car in the background may be different, although it appears to have the same tread pattern, and going by what i can see it says on the tyre it doesn't appear to be a cheap tyre.

my girlfriend had that happen, and they were second hand tyres. tyres are just one of those things that if i had to purchase second hand, i'd only be using around town and not at 100km/h. same with retreads.

so thats why it felt like your front end was bouncing eh?

it doesn't matter if the tyres are cheap or not when i got my good year f1's i got a huge bubble in the sidewall, it's just a defect in the rubber and a matter of luck.

Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand.
