I went into a pub in Winchester with Terry a mate of mine and he asked what I wanted to drink and while I was umming are arring he said I have a pint of Stowford Press please landlord, when it was put on the counter he took an almighty swig and smacked his lips and said to the landlord I really should not be drinking this with what I've got, the Landlord looked at him with sympathy and said why what have you got? Terry said about £1-40. I fucking near fell over laughing.
Haha! £1.40,,,, thoughs were the days Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

When I get it replaced on Saturday morning I am going to keep the old tyre and send some photos to Continental, see what they say.

It might have been old when it was "new" on the bike. If so, you should have words with the fitter...
