Hmmm, maybe my link's a bit dodgy. It should have been a googled machine translation. Maybe Babelfish does a better job: Here
I don't understand German either, but here's my summary: The poster was driving at 210 km/h (racing home to be on time for an F1 race) when a tyre burst. The poster goes on to praise the ESP and handling of the car enabling him (her?) to safely come to a stop.
just one word of warning to those who may be thinking of swapping from the space saver... if you've got an estate or a sigbum the wheel well is different to the saloon/hatch and the only thing that will fit is that lovely spacey..
I've got a 235/35/R19 spare snowflake in my boot fella matches the same as my 19's on the car!!!!!fits ok too!
Nick, does the carpet in your boot sit alot higher now? cheers mate.
I've got a 16" steelie in the boot with 215 tyre and the carpet does not sit flat anymore
Yes but not enough to make a difference m8 ,and i just use the galvanisised cargonet attachment loops to hold it down to stop it moving.
eventually i'm going to insert a toughened piece of clear perspex in the boot and have the wheel amp and sub as features m8.a few neons etc!!!!!!!
