Crossplys and Radials Don't Mix

Serious message: Mixing crossply and radial tyres on your car affects the grip and handling.

Also, if you're driving too fast round the back of some grimy towerblock and hit a kerb, take both your hands off the wheel and cover your eyes for safety.

Because hitting a kerb with one rear wheel will cause your car to jump 10ft into the air, rotate, hover a few yards over towards the grass and then plummet straight down.

Yes, choose your tyres carefully because you don't want that to happen.

That's Basil Fawlty's car

[aredredrose1]

The driver's name is Bernie Fangle and he was quite a famous actor in the 1960s. He went mad and was locked up in a loony bin for raving on live TV that he was doomed to die on telly advertising crossply and radial tyres.

It seemed like bollocks at the time but ...
