If I could give 0 stars I would. Hired a van with a tow bar from Sunderland. The manager said the tyre may have a very slow puncture but he had checked the tyre and said it was fine. Hours later after a long motorway journey towing a caravan the tyre was flat. We pumped it up but by the next morning it was flat again. So off to ATS. They changed it for the spare tyre. 1 hour alter the spare was as flat as a pancake. On inspection from a local garage they said the spare was not fit for the road. It had 2 punctures and a nail in it. They put some goo in it so we could carry on our journey
