Re: 32 SUVs disabled across Oxford.

"John Rowland" <johnr@journeyflow.spamspam.demon.co.uk> gurgled happily,
sounding much like they were saying:

No. The sidewalls will almost certainly have sustained damage from having
the full weight of the car sat on them via two small points of contact
from the rims. Where you've got a heavy, high-performance vehicle, you
really don't fuck about with the tyres - a blow-out at speed is not going
to be pleasant at all, and could easily be fatal. Not just, of course,
for the occupants.

In addition, of course, they may not simply pump up. If the foreign
object inserted into the valve has damaged the core, it will probably
need to be replaced, perhaps the whole valve stem - which requires the
tyre to be removed from the rim.
