OK tried a seach to see if anyone else has this issue....but can find anything. Doubt I the only one though...
I've notice my DRIVERS FRONT tyre is very warn on the outer edge athought still 4mm at least everywhere else...
I have a mate that used to own a tyre company and he said take it back to dealers...so I did!
They said it was tyre pressure...which having "helped out" at said mates garage I know to be wrong...
If tyre pressure is to hight your tyre will wear more in the centre...not enough and it will wear on "both" outer edges...mines just on the outer edge...
They kindly toped up and checked all tyre pressures to correct level and on I go after a heated chat about if I have to replace the tyre when theres still 4 mm left because the very outer edge has gone through YOU'LL be paying for the tyre not me.....
Anyway..I was parked up at a customers the other day and notice why....on full right lock the outer tyre is "rubbing" on the inner wheel arch...this looks to all be seated correctly though, so its not like its come away or anything...
Obviously I'm going to ring up the dealers again and explain that "I have found the issue" (and not their technician LOL)
But wanted to know if anyone else with 19" standed fit alloys has had this issue...and if so what was the fix??
It only had 5000miles on the clock when I got it (Ex Demo Car) so could it have had the wrong tyres fitted...i.e. too high a profile???
Thanks as always...
