Must get new tires!!!!

[V8ian]

Had to pop out today to rescue the wife who had borrowed my daily driver and could not get it started, the only car at hand was the Cortina, got the car started without much ado, so dutifully followed her home, 5th gear 50mph on a busy wet A road, thought I better catch up, so put my foot down, and the fooker let go in 5th, so fookin quickly it spun, fortunatly nothing was coming the other way, bit surprising really is it really is a easy car to control when in a slide. either my diff snatched or, has broken or the tires are w'ank in the wet, im going for the tires, I went straight down the tire shop and ordered some new 888Rs to replace the Khumos on the back, they seem to have got hard over the winter,

I bet you had a 'moment' then Ian I've heard about Khumos before doing that.

 

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

First thing my next door neighbour said, when I told him, he uttered the immortal word "DitchFinder", to top that off I have just realised I left my phone in the tire shop, and they are not open till tuesday,
