 Black Circle - bathtub tom
It happens!
Many years ago, as an impoverished student, I had some remoulds fitted. One de-laminated, on a 100E Ford!
The next set I noticed weren't identical. Both labelled 520x13, but one had an extra sipe running round it and was definitely 'fatter' than the other. The fitter refused to admit anything was wrong, but when I contacted the manufacturer they sent a rep out. Although he didn't admit anything, he arranged to have it replaced.
Cortina GT and I could now afford new tyres. Checking the pressures a couple of days after fitting and the tyre wall said 'tube type'. I was looking at a tubeless valve. Again, the fitters said it didn't matter. Trading standards disagreed. I had them removed elsewhere, trading standards picked them up and I received a full refund.
