Tyres.

[Caran]

Just had an email from my brother. He asked me who has sold the most number of tyres totalling one billion items per year. I was hopelessly wrong, what about you.

[PankySmooch]

eBay?

[Caran]

No.

[EDDIE51]

Durex?

[Ann]

F1 sponsors?

[Caran]

No.

[vulcan42]

Lego

[Caran]

Well done Vulcan. I couldn't believe it.

[tonyav]

A chinese manufacturer for a guess.

[EDDIE51]

On a more serious note ,do you mean the brand of tyre or the retail organisation that sold them? As in Dunlop v Tyres R Us?

[Caran]

As Vulcan correctly guessed the answer is Lego. The tyres on all the little vehicles they make in the Lego sets.

[Georgiesmum]

Goodyear?

[tonyav]

Well done Vulcan.

[Georgiesmum]

Sorry Caran, your reply wasnt there when i wrote that.x

[EDDIE51]

A bit of a trick question, I would not class a plastic toy as a tyre.

[Mamyalynne]

Lateral thinking Eddie.

[EDDIE51]

On that basis you could say Lego have sold the most cars,vans and aircraft as well !

[Caran]

Apparently it was a question on QI tonight.
