Avon Safety Wheels

[Peter.Kent]

They work.Yesterday on way to London suffered a flat. As I was following an
AM Vantage at only slightly below three figures, this could have been a
problem. As it was, the only clue to the situation was a sudden nasty noise
from the ns rear. No yawing about or anything like that. Two morals though:
first, check the pressure in the spare more often. 12 psi was a bit
inadequate. Second, don`t put off taking nuts for the spare as well as for
the Avons. You see, my spare is a steel wheel cos the big Avons with 225
section don`t fit in the compartment. Avon nuts don`t fit the steel
properly. And, of course, the standard wheel brace fits the steels but not
the Avons. Fortuneately I`d some tools in the boot. So I limped home. Peter
PS I was reminded of how fine it would be to have some nice new ss nuts ...
