Last week I noticed a vibration at around 60 mph, in the saff, went to my mates garage, first think he checked was the props, then he told me to balance all the wheels. I didnt have time to take them all off there, so I left it.

I had to drive 250 miles to Halifax sunday morning as my Bro's mrs was in labour. Still with the vibration. I was also carrying my mother and my G/F. I left halifax on Tuesday in a rush to get my G/F home, and tanked it, hit 150mph a couple of times. I noticed the vibration was still there if not worse.

So Yesterday I decided I would get the Balancing and tracking checked on the car for sound of mind. I took the car to my local ATS, and waited in the reception. A couple of minutes later the tyre fitter called me out.

The front drivers wheel had a huge bubble in the side wall around 3 1/2" long. The shape of the tyre was terrible. It had to be changed. On removing the tyre you could see the extent of the damage to the tyre wall.

All I could think of is, if that tyre had blown out at 150mph, I would of wiped out myself, mother, G/F, and maybe any other people unlucky enough to cross my path!!!!

One very lucky Cosworth driver.
