The Mrs picked me up from the station in the Sierra and as we pulled
away I heard the anti static strap dragging on the ground?.


Ah, somebody admits to having one of those on their car :-)


But if it only drags on the ground when a tyre is low, usually it's
not doing anything.


That's not how it started out of course. ;-)

I think they must have forgotten to add the carbon to the set of tyres
that were on there at the time as you would *always* get a belt off it
as you got out (in the summer and pre fitting the anti-static strap).

By the time the strap had worn down (it was 'flying' off the ground
once you started moving), so had the tyres and the next set didn't
have the same issue.
