S'okay, I was taking the ****. You just set it up so good!

As others have testified, if these very low profile tyres lose
pressure,
they're knackered in very short order!
I can't imagine it does the wheels any favours either

I thought some cars use the antilock braking sensors to compare the speed
of each wheel - over a significant distance. If one is revolving at a
different speed consistently then it warns of a puncture

That quite clever. Does it warn of four punctures while you are going
round a roundabout? Or one, when one wheel is spinning in the verge? :-)


No, that's why he said "over a significant distance" and "consistently". The
clue is in the words )
