6 ply...

After waiting nearly a month for a new front tyre to arrive from 1powersports it has finally arrived! This was all down to Australia Post losing it...

It's a 6 ply highway rated tyre - the same as I have on the back and will replace the worn out barrow on the front and the knackered front tube...

Valve put on, tyre on rim but couldn't get it to inflate so a quick visit to a local independent tyre place and in two seconds it was seated and inflated!

Bloody Tyres!

Came home to find the valve from my front tyre (which has an inner tube) on the floor of the garage...

It had completely come away from the tube, so have a complete flat and no way of inflating it...

I have a new tyre en-route, it was dispatched on the 14th August and thanks to Australia Post still hasn't arrived! Two phone calls last week and hopefully it will be here before the weekend.

Canvas...

The last of my original barrow tyres is now showing canvas. This is on the front wheel of the buggy. 

I have a new tyre on order (a Father's Day present) that should arrive this week - another 6 ply highway rated tyre.

How did that happen?

I found the cause of my flat yesterday...

It had split right by the valve. New tube now in, ready for some wind...

If anybody is listening?
