Make Sure You Get The Right Tyres

On route to Heathrow recently I was unfortunate enough to pick up a puncture. Fortunately I was able to change the wheel and still get to Terminal 3 in time to pick up my clients who’d just flown in from the US.

I have since been surfing the internet in search of a couple of new tyres. My car is a Mercedes Viano and, as I have now found out, uses reinforced tyres. I found a company that only sells on-line and as such are able to offer very competitive prices and they come to you, fantastic, or so I thought. I ordered the tyres on-line typing in all the information requested and arranged for fitting the following day.

To cut a long story short when you order on-line this company neglects to ask for one very important piece of information and that’s the load index. It’s a vital bit of info that simply wasn’t asked for when I ordered my tyres. I need a load index of 102 the tyres that arrived were only 98’s. Fortunately this was pointed out to me by the fitter before he put them on.

I now have the correct tyres on the car, which for me is doubly important because of my line of work.

So next time you order tyres on line make sure you’re getting the right ones.
