What tyres are you getting?

Trying Falken all seasons 3PMSF, driving home in the pouring rain and dark wasn’t the best to form an opinion but they seemed quite a nice ride so time will tell.

Years ago when brother in law was HGV driving (running little bent at times) he got a job to drive to Southampton to pick up two 20' both well over 20 ton, inspite of that he had them both loaded and drove back to Felixstowe on the way back he burst 3 tyres on the trailer, the tyre company sent him a bottle of whisky as he was the tyre burst champion that month.

It looks like the front jack is right on top of a drain channel

and on a wooden block ??

this is Martin we are talking about here, not likely to catch him out ?

I hadn’t spotted the block of wood till above query, we can’t lift all of our wheels off the ground, we can do one side at a time for tyre fitters though, never had all wheels off at same time

our suspension let’s the wheels hang quite a long way down , think I would need bigger blocks than yours to get all mine off the floor

Yes the block of wood is just to bridge the drain cover, the hydraulics will get all the wheels off the floor "just".

Had me worried though as I jacked it up and they took all the wheels off and fitted new tyres then they wouldn't go back on as the tyres were "new", luckily there was a little bit left on the rams.

They are great if you manage to get it stuck in a muddy field as well, just jack up and slip something under the wheels, I wouldn't be without them.

My tyre fitter was so surprised he went to get all his mates to show them ???
