Make sure there are no dead bodies anywhere.

All that everyone has mentioned but the guy at the tyre bay next door yesterday observed I had a two inch slit in the side wall of my nearside (nearly new) tyre.
At the bottom of the wheel, it was quite hard to spot.
Potentially a killer.

Hmm, worrying. Possibly caused by dropping a wheel into a pothole and catching the side of the tyre on the edge of the hole?
