Tyres.

Post by colin7673 »

Tyres. Most cars have four of them the help to keep the car safe and give a smooth ride.
Knowbody has ever wondered what happens to the tyre on the inside, we know what happens on the outside, because you can see it

But, I kid you not, someone has fixed a 'GoPro' to the wheel of a car, on the inside of the tyre.

A short video, but nevertheless

A short video indeed.......but not short enough. The man could be on point duty, when the traffic lights fail....would make more sense !

better to invest in new tyres than in a GoPro, and also to invest in some soap and water... :roll:

I thought it was interesting, both from the car point of view and the go-pro.

Hi all,
Tim Shaw (Interceptor owner) did the same on last weeks Car SOS (Rolls Royce Dr's Coupe) using one of the tyres off Dougal Crawley's (owner of Longstone Tyres) Rolls Royce.
A much better watch and Tim has so very clean hands.
