I knew my front two tyres were on the way out and I'd been pumping up a slow puncture for a few months now, try and eke out the last bit of life, but the other day I got a total flat on the school run, I was only half a mile from the garage so I limped there, wincing at the noises coming from the front offside, lucky I did, one of the bolts was so seized it took three men, including a comic book cliche of a hards as nails chain smoking soviet, to get it off, by the time they did the state of the tyre was laughable, 3 nails and a gaping wound in the sidewall.
