    More of a fright when the tyre exploded, fire brigade had nothing but praise tho as I’d taken it off the main road into an industrial estate, and switched it all off

    Drivers spring snapped and what I think is the steel bands in the tyre set all the plastic alight, , it’s all I can put it down to.

    The only bonus was only being 300y from the fire station
