bugger bugger. just ran over a brick in the road. Put a nice dint in my front left allow and taken a chunk out of the tyre (remarkably not popped it though!) also developed a blister in the back left tyre.

Need to find somewhere that referbs alloys and sells my tyres quick smart. 225/18/35!! ANyone got any ideas. Preferably around the blackpool area. Not even sure if the car is safe to drive!

Only bad news, I'm afraid, and can't help with anyone in your area. I know a good place in Spalding, though (East Anglia)!

The car probably is unsafe and if you're involved in a scrape even if it's not your fault you might have trouble getting out of it.

Prepare to have your front wheel scrapped unless the damage is minor, and I bet your rear wheel has got a buckle in it, too. Get a tyre fitter to spin it up on the balance machine.

I hit a piece of wood and it cost me two new wheels and tyres Ouch!

Good luck,

Richard.
