No refund for two flat tyres

That's the leader to an article of the Canberra Times (25/6) in the "Consumer Voice" section

A local resident had 22 punctures in 50 outings with a pair of Continentals. He is quoted as saying
"I ride the same route as I have for the last 15 years and never had any trouble like this before."

At $90 each, I thought GP4000 - he wants a race tire for commuting and
then complains they are soft and low tread! Sport Contacts orContacts
are what he should have been using, fast for an armoured tire.

I was down a bike for 6 months and commuting on my race bike, the
roads quickly tore chunks off my 4000s. Never happens racing, its the
urban [censored]. Three corner jacks don't help either. Switched to
gatorskins and still way too many. Mostly, its Canberra.
G'd, am I glad to be back on my tourer's Contacts.

If he's paying $90 per GP 4000 tyre, he needs his head read.

Even considering the P&H, he'd be way, way ahead - particluarly when buying more than one per order.

Ya get that. I had a bloke come into the shop last week wanting a refund on
the inner tube he bought at Christmas because it's gone flat already...
