tyres worn inside
« on: June 29, 2013, 03:31:39 pm »
Loking for some advice here .the car went in for a service on wed and the guy told me the tyres were worn down to the wire on both fronts insidesholder. The tyres are only 7 to 8 month old i would say so diddnt beleve him. Once i went back up to collect the car i was shocked to see the tyres were buggerd.  Anyway i have got 2 new tyres on now to keep the cops off my back but had to get crapy bugets for now :(  . So got the trackng cheked at kwick fit and thay said its spot on dosent need adjusted. Any one got any ideas as to why its done it? I have a couple of pics but guess il need to put thm on photobucket first to puf thm on hrre??

If tracking was ok, did you run the tyres at the recommended pressure?
Without traction power is nothing!

never trust kwiksh*t. My wife had some rotational tyres put on the wrong way round some months later she had an accident ( no injuries thankfully) we tried to take the legal route but that did not work out.... didn't even get an apology from anyone at all. Luckily came across a local garage that has taken care of us since :) but yeh get it checked out properly
