Um... thanks Grog... I typed this, read, tweaked, reread... got a couple of others in house to read... wondered if I was being harsh and then decided I had to post because if this tyre resulted in a crash I would have not forgiven myself for not piping up.

I noticed how many people had looked at the attachments and began to wonder if I was being a bit of a control freak...

Hey Deb, really looking forward to you replying and telling us you have changed tyre...
