M25, 17.25. Middle lane on the over run, just overtaken a morrisons motor, just started to feel vibration so straight onto hard shoulder hazards on and trying to brake and keep it in a straight line. Result. 1 trashed bridgestone with 8mm still left on it. Cause. m12 bolt right thru middle of tread pattern. Tyre fitter was there in 40mins. Dint mark my precious wheel, gave him a drink for taking care. Time elapsed. 1hr 40. Minimum disruption to rush hour traffic. As ever, thanks for yr words of support. :sunglasses:

So you had time to get the polish out again :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I wonderd where my M12 bolt went out of my starter, if i PM you my address can you post it back :laughing:

I’m glad it didn’t do the same damage as last time, atleast you dont need a new wheel this time! You seem to have some rotten luck :smiling_imp:

13

Hmm, I had one of those yesterday, except the bolt was in the dead centre of the tread :exclamation:
The most annoying part was it was on a curtainsider :imp: that I’d taken out as my own trailer had a slow puncture and was left for the tyre to be changed. :unamused:

TM said the first 2 phone calls of the day were drivers with blow outs.

Spooky.

It did make me nip up a bit mate, as you can imagine there was plenty of traffic around and i was tappin in a bit. Funny thing is i’d put extra straps on my load, just felt right to do so, just as well i guess.
