Damn those run flats!

[MrDeathcare]

This Runflat tyre was less than a month old, bloody cracked alloy the culprit!

 

[john-e89]

What have you dragged that wheel against Death...? Been up a kerb...?

 

[Rucky]

Has it cracked down the side of a previous weld repair? First photo looks a bit weld beady to the left og the crack or is it just dirt.

Sorry about that

 

[Mr Tidy]

That's a sorry sight.

But looking at the damage to the rim I'm not sure a non-runflat would have fared any better.

Good luck getting it sorted.

 

[MrDeathcare]

The damage to the tyre was due to me driving it whilst tyre was flat, I was stuck and needed to be able to drive to work for three days before I could get the time off work to get it looked at. The pros and cons of being a funeral director. Your life and needs come second to those of our clients.

Your nicknames not lucky by any chance, is it?
Get photos of the pothole and send the details to the council.

Wait, you drove for 3 days on a flat tyre? On purpose? :headbang:

well it is a runflat..I know thats not quite the idea of them but like the guy says he's a funeral director and pretty sure those guys have been quite busy for quite some time now My brother in law is in that business and he's been working 12-15 hour days 6/7 days a week for over 8 months so perhaps give the guy a break

 

[BeeEmm]

I am struggling to understand that driving for at least 6 journeys over 3 days on a flat tyre is regarded as acceptable. What's the full story here MrDeathcare? How would you have got to work if your car would not start? I struggle to understand because some tyre fitting companies will come to your place of work, or home. Then there are buses, night buses, trains, taxis and so on. :?

Yeah I have a busy job too, but I wouldn't say that's a good reason to put other people's lives in danger. There's always another way to get to work or time to get the tyre changed.

I knew someone who worked for the local funeral directors too, he used to joke a bit about the busy period coming up (winter) and meeting lots of new people (dead people)

I always remember a quote I was told on a driving course I attended (Not a speeding one I hasten to add) Better be a driver late than a late driver.

Mine was always better to be 30 minutes late to a meeting than 30 years earlier in the next life.
