new tyres reveled

macafee2 · 1st December 2018, 16:21

Had two rear tyres put on the Tourer today.
I was going to have a tyre put on one wheel from the tourer and one onto a wheel from my donor car and then put the wheel on the car.

When balancing they informed me both wheels are buckled. Checked the other rear wheel on the tourer and that too is buckled. Left me feeling pretty down

Although tyres have sealed I feel I have no option but to have the wheels
repaired if I can.

It will have to be a 2019 job as I want to end the year having earnt enough to cover what I have spent.

If the car was a colour I liked it would not be so bad but it's not

If the wheels are on the rear the chances are you won't even notice - i would see how it goes for a while.

I know that in some parts of the country, the roads are still in a shocking state for pot-holes. I was very impressed by the condition of Welsh roads, earlier this year, and I have to give it to Cumbria County Council - they have done a tremendous amount of proper repairs to roads badly damaged by the last few winters.

About £60.00 each for my 18" Apexs to be refurbished and de-buckled and an .excellent job, Elite Tyres, Reading. no connection/no backhanders. Chris.S.

If you hadn't noticed the wheels were buckled before they told you ( i.e. by driving it ) then I wouldn't worry about it.
