I took my car into the garage yesterday as my steering wheel was shaking quite violently! The guy took a look at my tyres and found that they were bent in half and all bubbled!
I thought i was being good putting air into my tyres the other day, but it appears i over inflated them to the point of them being a death trap! 
Now i know to leave anything that needs doing on my car to boys!

Bear in mind some tyre gauges at servos are dodgy and will give incorrect readings, especially if they are digital ones!

OMG  I did that too when i first got my car. they said if i had hit a bump in the road i would have crashed! The inside of my tyre looked like a balloon that's got lots of weak patches in it! I over inflated them too must be a girl thing.
