Tyre issue.... anyone known this problem before
v2brett:
yeah sounds the same all the individual blocks of tread have worn at an angle on the volvo and ill check whether there dunlops on tues, i think your best bet is to get the suspension geometry checked just to be sure and at a good place who know what there doing
Phil Mcavity:
Thankyou for you advise, almost feels like the centre of the tyre is "dented" as per a couple of the photo's, the running surface is far from even and as has been said, the sides especially in the inner edge seems to be worn alot more.
Cochese:
My golf came with Dunlops and after a few thousand miles I had to replace them all as the tyres were starting to split. I heard at the time that this is quite a common problem with Dunlops, although to be fair to them they gave me a refund based on the amount of tread left. Still wouldn't buy them again though.
vRStu:
No other way to describe it Steve, they are sh1te. I had two front wheel bearings changed under warranty on one of my Octy's before we realised it was the tyres. They seem to 'feather' which makes the noise worse.
SWMBO had 3 tyres changed on her Co. Car by quick sh1t and they put three of the bl00dy things on, it sounds awful now.
Phil Mcavity:
I did get these set from Kwik fit aswell. :mad:
