Dumb question of the year:
What is that curved thing on the end of his (I will assume its a dude) trunk? Another tusk?

Interesting to see that they've managed to overcome the problems that a lot of vehicle manufacturers seem to be blighted with. Even in a hot desert climate the RR is still successfully rusting :-# :lol: :lol: It's not rust - it's "time induced air ventilation paint" :worried: -James

"This ones getting a bit low in tread. If we replace it, you want a wheel alignment done at the same time?"

"Whatya mean they're out of round?! They were only put on last week a year ago!"

"Why do they want chromes with some low profiles on this again...?"

Take it into a tyre dealer adnd get them to take it off the rim and check the inside of the sidewall. Sidewall damage is not a...

This is a serious message from someone who is trying to keep people safe on the roads. First off, I'm a tyre technician/mechanic apprentice with a large garage in Wellingtn NZ.
