Thread: What happened to your Discovery 2 today?

Absolutely no issues on my five minute, bitumen commute to work, Rick. I noticed today, there are still mould tits on the tread. You could come to Moore, Australia Day Long weekend, with all the classy folk , and we'll find out together.

The tyre pliers work well on steel rims and regular alloys. The Disco rims have a wide bead well (thats what I call it) to prevent the tyre being pushed in and off the bead, deflating the tyre. It took me about 30 mins of working around the tyre to remove it from the "well" This tendds to chew up the alloy as well, so another 30 mins sanding out the ridges.

or 10 minutes including balancing without damaging the rim at a decent tyre shop. Ok in an emergency or remote though as long as you have a tyre

The two tyre shops I went to would not remove the tyre as it was too badly damaged. I think bull **** but! Both told me to grind the bead.

Growing old is mandatory.
Growing up is optional.
