Headed off to the lake at 7am yesterday to persecute some carp at which I failed miserably and only managed to catch a couple of skimmer bream. When it went dead mid afternoon as the temperature soared I called it a day and drove home. On the way back the tyres started squealing like stuck pigs on left handers at quite modest cornering speeds. Ok maybe not modest for Granny Walton but modest for the way I normally drive the Focus seeing as it sticks to the road like spunk to a f*ck buddy's T shirt. Somewhere between "Dave we're going to crash" and "Dave I think the passenger side of the car is lifting off the ground, I'm going to be sick."
The Focus never squeals its tyres so my immediate assumption was a flat or slow leak on the right hand side but getting the pressure gauge out this morning every damn tyre on the car is at 30 psi. Right on the money and what they've always been.
I can only put it down to the extreme temperature and the roads starting to melt at 80 degrees C.
Anyone else experienced this?
