    Replace the damaged one only, ideally with a matching brand/model.

    Replace it with the cheapest tyre you can get, post the brand on here and I'll get the popcorn. Be good for a bit of fun.

    Just turn the tyre around so the bulge is on the inside.







    Don't do this!

    "Ah yeah, made in the same factory as Bridgestone, bud."

    A basic rule of thumb is if you have never heard of the brand before, don't put them on your car.

    That's a new brand... Looks like it's on the bottom of the range wheel trim model too, good spot.

    Ah good old sailfish. I've 4 of those beauties on a car I've got on loan at the moment. You can feel them wanting to break away when driving sedately. They're absolutely lethal in the wet.

    Landsail tyres are brilliant as they do exactly what they say, sail into some land!
