Default The weird world of tyres

For some years I've had Nexen tyres fitted: normally get 25K miles out of each. Unfortunately last year I suffered a puncture that couldn't be repaired, but a Nexen was fitted. The inevitable happened when I've just had to replace the other tyre, and my usual local small tyre fitting firm said they couldn't get any more Nexens. I'm probably wrong but I didn't want to fit a different make on the same axle so I found Nexens on-line and tried to match the same tread pattern. Cost me £65 + £25 fitting by my usual firm. (His suggested equivalent, a Bridgstone would have cost me £67. He tells me very few tyre firms will now fit supplied tyres).

Come the tracking number and I watched it start its life in Holland! (15th Sept 00.02) thence to Hinckley Leics, then Exeter (3.51 this morning) and was delivered here at 11.00am.

And the tyre was made in . . . China.
