Exhibit A:


Yes that is extremely warn down - the other tyre wasn't quite so bad but this one was just ridiculous

He said that the tracking was massively out as well 200 something out and he said a corsa is normally about 15 out or something!?

Anyways £110 later it seems to be gripping a bit better

edit: £110 for 2 new tyres, tracking adjusted, labour and VAT

True - the guy said he was amazed that I made it down to the garage!

One sharp object or bump would have popped that easy

The most annoying part - is that the other tyre was fairly new and he said that I had lost about 15,000 miles on it

tbh, on 13" inch wheels, with Michelin Energy's & standard suspension, you can only corner so fast before it lets go, and I'd rather not die

Wore the insides of the front tyres on the 2.0 down to the cords, only realised when i went to check my oil and saw white rings around my tyres
