£50 a tyre = you don't value your own life. IMO.

Go back and take photos of the kurb, you'll also need to go to a garage and have the puncture looked at, see what they say.

I even ran that death tyre on my Audi for ages after, up and down the motorway every day. Only replaced it with a part worn when that guy came to buy it.

Tyres are overrated. I even run with odd sized wheels on the back of my Disastra, makes it lift off oversteer round damp roundabouts though instead of boring understeer, so it stays. Only when turning right however

I have shocking tyres on mine which will be getting changed post haste. Fucking dreadful things, it's like skating on ice driving on even a slightly damp road.

How did you manage to do 80 quid in a week.

Rattling kerbs sideways sounds good to me.
