Idiot at work

A few of us at work own hondas so as i want to respray my wheels i thought i would ask the lads in the tyre fitting bay out front if any one had a spare i cud use so i can take my tyres off one at a time . One kid answered with why dont i use my spare so i replied with its a spacky saver and will set my traction control off an i cant be bothered to keep turning it off . With that the idiot replied i dont need traction control on my honda civic as i have independent suspension and my car handles better then ur lude . With complete confusion on my face and thinking wat the hell has that got to do with traction control i went to find something to hit him with

I had the same kind of problem. All 4 my tyres where the wrong size. 2 then went illegal low on the front so got the new ones fitted. I was then told the bigger ones had to go on the back keeping the smaller ones on the front. This sent the traction control wild and wouldn't hit vtec and I could go faster than 4 miles an hour it kept kangaroo jumping so in the end I had to take 2 perfectly decent tyres off the front and replace them so they was all the correct size. Learn from your lessons keep them all the same size if you have traction control!

I found that out the hard way on a motorway wen i forgot to turn traction control off wen i pulled out of services , the car just started going slower in the end had to pull over on the hard shoulder to switch it off . Got all the same size on at moment but its hard to get 4 runners all the same at work so i just keep putting ones back all the time now for next time i need some
