Yeah, that's probably one of the steel belts that's snapped, I wouldn't run on it apart from nipping to the nearest tyre place...________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

cheers for that, they were a spare set, just a shame as there's plenty of thread left on them. |

He only had 5 mile journey to work on 30/40mph roads an never a problem. Personally I wouldn't do it with my car because as soon as I can see a prolem it gets sorted. Prevention is better than cure  but yeah as said it's do-able.________________________________________ Team Nile 6Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™ I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness |

Look at it another way, if it pops, you'll have to change it anyway. But, depending on how it does pop and speed etc, you'll more than likely damage the car too. Get them changed and save money in the long run. ________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |
