I've had a bad run with tyres, one blew (thanks to the missus running a curb), and another got nailed (yes, literally).
So I'm trying to get a spare and at the 30,000km service......
Q1. Honda says Bridgestone have discontinued the tyres..... and i have to go with another brand. But they say that I must get 2 as I can't interchange just one tyre from another brand (even as a spare) and I must get 2 for safety........... I thought that as long as I get something with the same specs it's going to run on the car without issues. Is this true that for safety you can't get a tyre from a different brand with same specs? Where can I find it?
Q2. One of the tyres I changed (the nailed one) has done less than 5000km's, but the dealer says it's unroadworthy as the inside is wearing fast. So again, told me to buy 2 tyres. Bad alignment. I didn't think the tyres wore so fast.
Please save a noob by helping with these two questions.
