Failed a single wheel class 7 transit yesterday because the load rating on the rear tyres were inadequate mainly because they were fashionable 4x4 knobblies.
Bloke went to our local multi site 'tyre specialist' and they phoned up because they 'didn't understand' what I meant by unsuitable load rating !
He couldn't get his head round the fact that 'The right size wasn't the same as insufficient load rating'
Were all doomed I tell ye !!!

The beatings will continue until moral improves !
The newness has gone off that bit!!!

Owners will bung any old oversize alloy rims on without a thought for the load rating. And then you see the spare, completely different diameter/rolling radius.
