    Well, good luck with that! I just hope in UK things work out a little better than here where I live - if you break your car because of a hole in the road, it's your own goddam fault.

        It should, with all that CSI and other series going on there!

          In the US most tire places will sell you a road hazard warrenty for around $10 with the purchase of a new tire. This includes damaged tire replacement, free flat repair and free rotation. As much as I'm on the road, I always get this and have used it many times over the years. As far as the crap day, hell yes. We all have those every now and then. What really sucks is when you have a crap week where every day gets exponentially worse. Thank God for beer.

            Whenever I'm having that kind of day, I always try to remember: Somewhere there is a Mr. Pelosi, and he has to kiss that puckered hemorrhoid good night. And I thank God I'm not him.

              Some things in life are bad
              They can really make you mad
              Other things just make you swear and curse.
              When you're chewing on life's gristle
              Don't grumble, give a whistle
              And this'll help things turn out for the best...


              And...always look on the bright side of life...

                    i had 2 new tyres fitted but I didn't like them
                    Would you mind to explain, what one could not like on tires? Are they the wrong colour, or what?

                      I think some higher power was at work here. You were guided to buy the first set, but were tempted by evil to replace that set and get an inferior set and karma came along an slapped you one for this indiscretion.

                      Either that or the tires you bought were made from used condoms that also ironically failed the puncture test.

                          Different tires do have different rolling resistance, but not enough to account for 100 miles on a tank unless you drive an 18 wheeler. You got some other problems there - have the alignment checked

                            either that or poor balance and or wrong inflation pressure or outer tread diameter
