Yes that make sense for my Bridgestones, must have been an easy repair as I didn't have a completely flat and didn't damage the walls.

Lucky me!

Lucky indeed, Giuseppe!

It may also be that because it was against Company policy, the mechanic did it FOC.  So it didn’t go through the Company records.

Did you get a receipt for the work?  It might still be worth finding out what caused the air loss and what the mechanic did about it.  

But possibly you’re less of a cynic than I am!

😃 when I  get something FOC , couldn't really ask for a receipt! I  did ask for details but the mechanic had already left. Having read Bridgestone policy, I feel at ease. How many levels of cynicism are there?

Well I’m 80, Giuseppe - and I think I’ve just about attained a Black Belt in it.  So still not quite the full article!

You beat me by 3 years, but sadly no black belt other than my leather one!🤣🤣

I see Costco have £100 off 4 Goodyear tyres 👍

As an update to this I have taken advantage of this, 4 x Vector 4seasons, 235 /55/19's, fully fitted, disposal etc for £125 a corner. 👍🙂

A very sound choice, Phil.  I’ve always liked that tread pattern.

I don’t know if I’ll ever have to replace my Goodyear Eagles,  but these would be a serious contender.  So I’ll be interested to’ know how you get on with them.

Oddly enough I am replacing Eagle Asymmetrics. Three and a half years old but showing some cracking due to lack of use, (about 10k) I am told? Nothing dramatic but with an MOT due in February perhaps just as well.

The cracking in the rubber on tyres is primarily caused by the UV in sunlight over time. Do you leave your car outside or in a garage?

Thanks Malcolm, did not know that. It's kept outside but in shade 🤔. So I can expect the same in three years or so time? Cheers Phil
