tyre safety month

Good idea but they quoted the wrong tyre size and pressures for my Vitara.

Yup, got my front pressures a full 12psi out.

Oh, and seemed to suggest that my rear tyres should be the same size as my fronts heh...

That is probably correct because the web sites FAQ page says it all:-

Q. How can I find out the correct pressure fro my tyres? A. The car manufacturers handbook does contain this information and at many tyre retailers they will have a pressure chart to consult. Failing that contact with the tyre manufacturer will provide the information.

No mention of using their own checker ;-)

Heh. You wanna try feeding it something it doesn't know about...

Sounds like my Capri, Adrian. Apparently we run on "run flat tyres", literally.

Great, it quotes the WRONG sizes of tyres on a Vauxhall. They are not

185/65 they are 190/60. It's the same inaccurate database being used by KwikFit and others.

I'm all disappointed - it coped with my car fine :-)

(I suppose in the 16 or so years since it was built, they've had a chance to enter the data properly...)

cheers, clive

only worked for 2 of my fleet !!

My Freelander has turned into a Merc C class!

I broke it. All entries returned as "'1.0' standalone='yes' ?> 00840388NO DATA AVAILABLE FOR THIS TRANSACTION"

I'm _really_ surprised it crapped out on something as common as a Crapi. Having a rummage through some old plates, it craps out on the A-reg Cavalier my dad used to have, too.

What a pile of crap. (The site? The Cav? Both?)

Don ( snipped-for-privacy@demon3.co.ik) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

No, they're not, unless they're TRXs. All normal radials are sized in 10mm intervals, xx5mm nominal tread width.

Private plate?

Yup, that's what I got for my Riley!

It doesn't like commercials. I got the same for various light commercials I own/have owned.

No normal R plate as issued by dvla when car was new 9 years ago,

How d'you do that? I only broke it a little bit compared to that...
