Things that make me mad!

[Eichhörnchen]

I looked at the rear offside tyre on this bloke's car once and it was so smooth you could almost see your face in it. I knew it was no good telling him, so I told his wife because I knew she'd nag him into a trip to Kwikfit, which she did. I did this 'cos my kid was going to be travelling in this car at some point, and it's not even like his car was a shed.

Check pressures AND tread!

I change out the 5 tires/tyres on the Jeep every two years, mainly because when I retire I will not likely have the extra money to buy new tires at $250.oo ea. The slightly used tires are stored on their sidewalls in my shed (no sunshine getting on them to rot the rubber), under lock and key.

With the big truck, when the tires are down to the wear bars.....off they go. Especially if I am about to go Northwest for the summer. Tires in northwestern Ontario are way more expensive and harder to get than they are nearer to Toronto. It does help that my company has 1/2 interest in a tire shop.
