Hi all, first post here or old site. Wife’s pride & joy of 3 years, was today wrecked after hitting black ice :( She is fine, but car not so good. Three further cars hit same patch within 20 mins. What has miffed me most is I just spent £162 on 3 new Vredestein Sportrac 3 tyres!!! Warning to us all in this bad weather.
Thaks for th
Did having only 3 new tyres on have anything to do with it? What is the fourth tyre?
Thanks for the warning. The main thing is your wife is ok.
An MX5 although a nice car is all said an done a hunk of metal and completely replaceable.
Glad nobody was hurt!
4th tyre was a michelin, replaced last year, on drivers front side.
Sorry to here, but as said above, it could have been worse.
Although seemingly not an issue in this case, it is worth noting that mixing tyres (on an axle) can cause handling issues, especially at this time of year since the tyres will behave differently.
