Morgan plus 4 tyres

05/06/2020

Nice to get these odd jobs that are not run of the mill tyre changes. This Morgan had modern wire wheels that take a normal tubeless tyre, so no inner tubes required. The customer had problems with the tyres going down but a previous tyre dealer had not been able to find the problem. He called out Hometyre Sussex and I went round to sort it out. It took a while to find the problem, which turned out to be loose steel valves. These are bolted into the rim,and tightened with a locknut..... on this car the nuts were only finger tight allowing air to leak out over a few days. I removed the tyres checked the valves, and their rubber settings, then bolted them in correctly. Replaced the tyres, rebalanced the wheels and put them back on the car. Problem solved and one happy customer.
