“Man is the only animal that learns by being hypocritical. He pretends to be polite and then, eventually, he becomes polite.” – Jean Kerr

It is not good when you can hear your tyre hissing.
It is also not good when the mechanic refuses - as in point-blank refuses - to repair your tyre and wants you to get a new one because the threads are all worn down.
It is definitely not good when the other rear tyre feels smooth as well.
So maybe it was a good thing we didn't go to the great ocean road after all.

creative licence: the tyre gurgled rather than hissed, because it was wet and there was a nail in it. Which is worrying in retrospect because i suspect it was the same tyre that had the lowest pressure when we drove to the dandenongs (two months ago) and maybe even adelaide (five months ago).
