Rolling jump start? Must not be the cleverst engineers trying to jump start a vehicle which doesn't have a clutch and is fully automatic. Actually YAZ has manual 1st, 2nd & 3rd as well as the usual driver neutral reverse as does Y48. They're NOT manual 1st, 2nd or 3rd gears, the 1, 2, 3 are for the driver to lock it in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear while driving. I, suppose as a non-driver, you would think, they were for that. For example : traffic is crawling along, instead of keeping it in D, you could lock it into 2nd gear, so, that it doesn't keep going up and down the box, or, going up a steep hill, lock it into 3rd, that's what they're really for. |

Having driven manual vehicles including manual buses, it's so much easier having autos. |

Saw Y48, just having a nearside rear outer wheel put on in Wakefield Bus Station, surely it would've made better sense, to also replace the inner wheel too?

Why would it, if there was nothing wrong with the inner wheel/tyre?. The inner tyre also looked worn, and the inner tyre will suffer from overheating problems, now it's been paired with a new one, that'll be an inch or so wider. |

Good practice is to change the pair or match tread within 4mm of the other tyre. |

You didn't mention the inner tyre condition when you originally posted. Hence my comment. |

Good practice is to change the pair or match tread within 4mm of the other tyre. Possibly is good practice, But i bet you don't find many operators who do so. Most will run tyres down to as close to 1.6mm limit as they can (especially smaller operators) for obvious cost reasons. Also on any vehicle fitted with dual tyres on the same axle it's highly unlikely both will wear at the exact same rate due to pitch/camber etc. Many transport operators prefer to "max out" the life of their tyres, as the more worn they get the less rolling resistance they offer, thereby increasing fuel economy. |

For some strange reason PSV tread limit is 1mm. However our limit at First for an immediate tyre change is 1.6mm. But if a tyre is found at 2.5mm it should be planned to change on the next tyre plan. |

Thanks for your response wibble, I knew HGV's limit was 1mm, But i was always led to believe PCV's was the same as private cars at 1.6mm. I've always said you learn something new everyday. |

I have to admit i'm surprised nobody's commented about how far off-topic we've gone on this thread. Maybe people think something as mundane as a round black rubber circle is more interesting than a nondescript operator, who'm the majority of forum members will probably never use anyway.
