Don’t put off changing a dodgy tyre………..Why?

And this is why!
This was actually the original tyre that was on the van when it rolled out of the factory 27 yrs ago.
I bought the van in Nov and was told there was a couple of thousand miles left, anyway I was planning on changing for a while but I kept getting sidetracked!

This happened doing 70mph down the M4 after a weekends surfing in Wales. How the tyre didn't blow I don't know, anyway needless to say all tyres are now in order
. :shock:
