Heres my situation!...

Ive got new tyres waiting fitting, but the shop said its easier to wait till weekend when i put the bike thru MOT at the same time....
Only, My rear tyre is on the white lines now...


Sure I can go take the bike to the shop tomorrow have the tyre replaced with the new one I have ready and waiting. but...and its a BIG BUT... I cant do that untill after work (Work is 30miles away) So do i Put another 60 miles on the tyre... Or shall I call in sick and ruin my perfect record?
Im worried the tyre will blow out or something Cool

When you say the white lines do you mean the cord under the rubber?

I have ridden like this once before after doing this....... (over 30000 hits Shocked )

Only had to ride 5 miles but it was all over the place, never do that again.

Not worth the risk mate, apart from the heavy fine stuff. If that thing gives up on you, you may not be needing an MOT at the weekend
