Hi guys,

Picked these two up from the wrecker near Loganlea train station. In good nick besides the obligatory gutter rash. Two new tyres and the rims for $120, sound good?

One question though, I've seen it before but not quite sure if it's a problem. One tyre has a 'bump' on it, like a swelling in one small area. Is this a cause for concern?

I'm just keeping them incase I need to swap out any of my old tyres. For some reason the complete lack of any wheels that will fit e-series compelled me to pick these up as well.

Cheers,
Adam

P.S. I can't remember which e-series. EL Futura or something else?

a bump in the tyre is usually not a good sign either in sidewall or tread area it is a sign of a weakspot in the tyre - best not use them pick up a coupla cheapies for them.

Alright, cheers.

bump in the tyre is uusually caused by the belts braking inside the tyre and bending outwards. the bump will get bigger from use, and cause a blow out or worse. that tyre has either hit something hard, or is old and starting to breakdown. avoid it like the plague.

Cheers.

Well least I got some nice cheap rims, lol.
