Crossy Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Have a word with B-Quik, their own brand 'Thunderer' is worth a look for a budget solution if you don't mind odd tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Sheesus! I guess that sounds expensive to you then If you need a full set, usually you'll get 4 for the price of 3. If it's just one that damaged, perhaps it's repairable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny202 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Really strange? Obviously got the flat sometime yesterday. Noticed it this morning in the driveway. The Tyre even when removed is flattened and compressed like it's been sitting flat for 3 months. There are cuts on the wall of the Tyre. I initially thought had been knife slashed but the 2 cuts are on the inside of the Tyre. Doesn't make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny202 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 I just bought 2x 265/70x16 from B-quick at 4k each...Cannot fault them...Same brand (Bridgestone) or the ones Crossy mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Really strange? Obviously got the flat sometime yesterday. Noticed it this morning in the driveway. The Tyre even when removed is flattened and compressed like it's been sitting flat for 3 months. There are cuts on the wall of the Tyre. I initially thought had been knife slashed but the 2 cuts are on the inside of the Tyre. Doesn't make sense? The cuts probably mean that the tire isn't repairable - or that you wouldn't want to even if it was. I would never recommend running a single odd tire on a car - if you're going to mix and match, at least make it a whole front or rear pair. What's the spare like?

JAS21 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Why don't you take the spare tyre off the steel rim and then get an old tyre from the shop for a spare. I have a brand new 3 year old spare on the steel rim ... useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually splits the tire rather than cutting it but it looks like a cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And make sure they are speed compatible to your intended top speeds. They should have a speed rating on the rim. The main problem with tyres in Thailand is they are not steel rimmed like the western ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
