That certainly isn't what somebody should be dealing with on a Friday into Saturday @66Mustang, but I'm glad you appear to be safe and that the RAC were great.

Hi @66Mustang,
How are you? I just wanted to say that I'm pleased to hear that you got home safely and that Motability have been good I can appreciate that you are anxious due to this but as @lisathomas50 has said if this were to happen and you were on your own you would just follow the process that happened today. I appreciate that is easier said than done but try not to worry to much, please can I ask how are you finding the driving impacting on your independence? Thank you. -
Hurrah for the rescue company @66Mustang ?

Hi @WestHam06
Thanks for the kind words.
My issue is my Mum who was with me had to phone up the Motability/recovery people and also dealt with the person who arrived to help. I didn't do anything and I don't think I'd be able to do it all by myself. Maybe in time though
Driving impacts massively on my independence. Even though I don't go out alone it is really good to be able to drive my parents to the shops, for example, and feel like I am helping out.
Thanks -

Glad all is sorted now and your car is back when tyers need changing the thread needs to be the same on either side so they always put two tyres on
My cars are my own so if that happened to me I put part worn on as tyres aren't cheap thats the good thing about mobility cars apart from the payments you make and petrol you put in there are no other worries
Glad all is ok @66Mustang -
I thought that about tyres too but last year I had a tyre changed because it had a gouge out of it and they just replaced the 1 tyre with an identical tyre (Hankook).
I guess they changed both this time because they only had Michelins in stock so need to keep them both the same brand?
Very happy with the Michelins though -
Does the RAC membership come free with motability @66Mustang?

@leeCal
Yeah it does. It includes absolutely everything for the car except petrol. It's really a fantastic service, can't fault it one bit.
If that's not enough they even are refunding £50 (totally unnecessary IMO) because they had less insurance claims due to lockdowns!! -
Wow!

Some mobility cars have AA cover and there are a couple of others they use

@OverlyAnxious
Just tagging you in as I’m sure you will know the answer!
On the old - OEM - tyres, my car used to torque steer quite badly under hard acceleration in 1st and 2nd gear but now on these new ones it pulls away really hard, lovely and smoothly - it seems to have made a massive difference. Is this to be expected? Why wouldn’t the manufacturer put the best tyres on originally? I guess their idea of “best” may have been chosen via a different parameter like fuel economy?

Which model were your original tyres? I'm guessing the Michelins are Pilot Sport 4 which are highly regarded in the car world. -
