    On our maiden trip from Andover to Doncaster, we had amber led's on the rear of the Reo, a Motorway cop had a good look at us at the services and congratulated us on a our 'safety set up' he did say 'I know it's a big unit but it's green and slow ! just watch out for the 18 wheelers too busy texting on their mobiles !!!!!

    The bloke from ATS said they wern't cracked all the way round the wall, if they were then risk of de-laminating, there are no bulges or blisters, he said he had seen worse on Buses round Doncaster !! I will have to take some pics and let you the 'jury' give your verdict ! still can't find the kettle and the flaming fish has gone awol:blush:

    Just don't want to be branded a time waster, I know there is nothing worse than a newbie asking time repeated questions ... however, i was wearing my usual rose-tinted glasses as i purchased my dream machine,the same as yesterday when I un-wrapped the so called new tyres for the Whirlwind...err no inner tubes guv ? Anyway , one thing is to get the tyres, next challenge will be who to fit them !!!:nut:

    Buongiorno Alex ! looks like a beautiful part of your country, I wish I could get my wife to go further north but we always end up on the Amalfi coast ! Welcome Alex, I am a relatively new boy , but there are lots of knowledgable folk on this site ! Enjoy

    Thanks for your quick reply ! The guy from ATS joked that if I had driven the 200 miles up to Doncaster on them without any dramas, why was I worried about going 9 miles down the road to Braithwell ??? apparently they have been stood for a long time, fronts are in good order its just the drivers side rears (L/H/D) i wonder if it has been 'kerbed' a few times ?:blush:

    I guess you will say 'that old chestnut again' however I can find threads on tyre protection etc but after my long road run from Andover the other weekend and finally got down to a full check of the REO we now have found cracks on the side walls on three of the tyres, The cracks don't go all round the rim, there are no blisters or gouges and one shows cracks in the tread valleys. so can anyone point me in the direction of a tyre supplier up north ? also is it best to jack and chock until I can get replacements ? bang goes the idea of going to the local shows:cry:

    Excellent, now to get my pass signed !
