adammitch69 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 evening gents I was wondering what the juddering was.... now I know. Quote
adammitch69 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 *Apologies for the filthy wheel... but it is powder coated anthracite aswell ;-) Quote
adammitch69 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 standard Bridgestone. It was one of the rears so replacing both rears with Michelin Pilot Sports :-) Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Good choice. I'm on my second set and recon they are about as good as you can get. Quote
drewbie Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 OMG Can't go wrong with Pilot Sports, cracking - although I'm lovin' my Toyo's. First time I've tried them and they are just soo good, especially in the wet. Quote
martinmac Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Hell thats scary. Good choice of replacements though Quote
bronzee Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Did they just let go, or did they give you a bit of a warning? Quote
adammitch69 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 ...bit of shuddering for 30seconds then really bad vibrations from the rear when it went completely Quote
fatalus Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 One more reason to stay away from the crappy stock Bridgestone... Quote
M13KYF Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 you must have had an egg on the tyre, for it to go like that, hence the juddering Quote
nixy Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 oopsie! Mine were on the way to having 'egg' syndrome but the alignment was way out - might be worth getting it checked! Quote
Stew Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I had a similar thing on a stone.... Mine ended up with about 6 inches of tyre held together. The rest was ripped open. It wasn't good..... Quote
M350ZB Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 , Jesus !, hope the zed is all k ?, how old was the tyre ? Quote
