| Right was travelling from Guyhirn roundabout last night towards wisbech, along the river road, and my N/S Rear tyre decided to blow and the wheel flew off as well!
Needless to say was a scary situation, travelling at about 70-75mph, and pop, on quite a busy road!
Went back this morning, as needless to say i couldnt see much in the dark, and there isnt any sign of my wheel, except my wheel spacer and the centre cap sat on the verge, and a track in the grass heading to the river.
So thats me looking for a replacement 15x8 schmidt modernline.

| NOPE it didnt wear through, and i havent got any toe in now, i sorted that friday, tyres had plenty of tread.
I had a bit of scrubbing, and i hit a big bump/pothole and it exploded.
