Roadworks

Taymaishu · 06-22-2010, 12:39 PM

So out with the new Mrs tonight, and heading along Boundary St heading into the Rocks for some late night pancakes.

As i was about to pull onto Eastern Valley Way, i heard the notorious "thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk" coming from my front left wheel - from a fast flat. However the handling didn't feel any different. Having never had a flat in the Beamer i thought it may handle fine under flat, especially as i have RFTs still on the fronts.

I pulled over and inspected the tyre, and found one of those temporary road markings stuck to my front left tyre with hot tar. I quickly removed it and cleaned off the residue tar with my wheel brush (blessing by carrying detailing gear with me!).

I reckon at 12 degrees, had i have gone 2-3 more minutes, the reflector would have been hard stuck onto my front left tyre from the hot tar cooling and creating that unbelievable bond!

Quite lucky - it was actually pretty hard pulling it off, and had only passed through roadworks around 30 seconds earlier!

Thats so annoying! Hope none of the tar got thrown onto the beautiful body.

Hot tar should definitely be policed a bit more effectively!
