Title: It's amazing....
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 04 February 2015, 18:49:29
... how quickly an Omega can destroy tyres when the alignment is out!  :o  :(

I first noticed last Friday that my car was pulling to the left as I was on a motorway run and I pulled into the services and sure enough the inside edge of the nearside front was starting to wear.  I thought to myself that I'd best see to that in the next couple of weeks, but checked the tyre again today and it's already down to the wires!!  :o  ::)

Best get it seen to soonish and in the meantime I've some tyre juggling to do!  ::)

Put the ones down to the wires on the back, add a few sacks of sand or breeze blocks and no one will be able to see them. The wire actually gives good grip on loose surfaces. :y

I did think of weighing down the drivers side a bit more, as that should even things up a bit!  :D
