A sensitive derriere


I have jacked up the rear ns wheel and looked at it in bright light and.......the tread is distorted over a 10% sector of the circumference.  The cords must be breaking up.  I have had bulges in the sidewalls before now(one burst like a gunshot just as the fitter was about to change it!), but never the tread.  That is one of the disadvantages of taking over an old car and not knowing the history. 


I am surprised that such a relatively small deviation (10mm) gives such a poor ride at low speed, but give thanks that it did not fail completely at speed.
