[quote R319CB23CD60FRJB]JGSheehan that would have been an unnerving experience and I can relate. Had a tyre 'laminate' on my HZ Holden Panel Van once and it started thumping so bad I had to put the spare on before the tread separated completely. Otherwise, at 100kmh on highway it could have ended badly.[/quote] Yep, sure was. I would have said tyres are much more reliable these days. Though I had a Bridgestone give I up the ghost on / near road works at Wilton a week or two ago.
