Italy 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black
Close call!!!

Drove the RRS for the first time in a while (the wife has been using, while I find her a car to carry our newborn) and the first time since we fitted the summer tires which are new to us (bought of some German bloke........ a strange guy wearing white jeans Whistle )

Straight away they felt different and I kept telling my wife how hard the ride was and that it pulled to the right... and 2 miles down the road...... oooppps!!

Lucky we didnt get of the motorway!!!!!

Moral of the story, check your tires before driving off!!!! RRS TDV8 HSE 2007- JAVA Black/Black interior,

To be fair the car is a nightmare for letting you know when you have a puncture, I never realised I had one and destroyed a tyre before I had to brake for some lights and discovered ........luckily nowhere as bad as the picture.

I guess we should be pleased the suspension is so good to mask the problem!!!!!!!

Exactly that!!!

But on the hindside, we were on our way to hopefully buy my wife a car which was not as nice as the one we found driving locally due to the spacesaver!!!

Oh Censored ...... it seems it really might not be your fault Frank, I checked the air pressure of the other tires and they were all over the place!!

It seems the idiots in the garage mounted the wheels without even checking the pressure.............. Evil or Very Mad I think a phone call is in order........ RRS TDV8 HSE 2007- JAVA Black/Black interior,
