8 were fitted across the double drive rear of a Leyland Constructor, more than half of them blew out over a matter of months, that brought the short lived trial to an end due to lights wings etc being taken out.Went back to using decent Mich XY or equivalents, considering the amount of tip work involved punctures and damage wasn’t the problem one might have expected (and proper tyre repair workshops were more common then), the biggest danger was ploughing things like steel sprung mattresses up on the landfill and them getting wrapped around the props.
I’ve had a mattress around the prop shaft, what a mess!
Not a good thing ,the queen was coming to open something to our area o rural Scotland early 90s , we had to be in and out of our local landfill 2hrs before the section o rd was closed , it had been cleared n cleaned hedges trimmed daily for a week , well did jimbo not pull onto the rd with a part mattress explode wrapped round the prop , stop reverse back in , phone call to local council to. Come out and clean , was not a popular person for many weeks .
