First service and...

[RS-Halla26]

had two front bald tyres and a nail in the back one next to the edge of the tyre. What a expensive first service! :/
God knows how the front tyres are bald, if honest dont even drive that spirited but both on legal limit inside of the tyres. Could this be a tracking issue or anything?
Adding to that, nail in the tyre... well

 

[Willis]

Did you take out or were you offered Wheel & Tyre Insurance when you got your car?

 

[Roy]

how many miles you done with them??

 

[RS-Halla26]

Done 12k miles with them.
and no had to go buy some part worns currently till payday next month pah

 

[Willis]

Ah well, always handy keeping those ones as spares anyway.

 

[Roy]

got 26000 miles on my first set(wife driving though) dont know what the average would be??

 

[5kyle8]

The front i get about 8 months out of and the rears i'm not sure. Use mine everyday and driving it steady-ish, haha

 

[Arran]

12k miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bloody hell, well done! That's good going! I used to get through fronts in my old Clio quiker than that!

 

[marky-f1]

Yeh I'd say 12k is good going 2

 

[Keil]

ive just got 1.5K out of my rears!!! no supporting two HUGE flat spots due to rear brake failure lol not happy!

 

[BenW]

12k is pretty average I would have though. Insides wearing quicker could mean your tracking is a bit out though.

 

[RS-Halla26]

oh right thats a relief. Guy at arnold clark was like "this is the worst tyres i've seen at 12k miles" they where only on the legal limit wear strip :S
Definitely new tyres and tracking to be checked next payday me thinks..

 

[Brown bear]

Have you checked them yourself? Never, ever trust anything a Renault dealer tells you. I was told at a service that my 182 brakes were 50-60% worn. The day after I fitted new pads/discs.

 

[RalphyBMW]

Any main dealer - we had the same with the pads on our Honda @ 30k, they lasted another 30k and then were only replaced as the discs were being changed due to a slight warp.

 

[Roger200]

Good to know 12k is about average as mines done 10k and noiticed they've a couple of k left, maybe.

 

[Foxspeed]

anything over 12k with the tyres is good on the conti's

as for the tyres - did you see them?

dont forget there are limits to tyre wear and how much BEFORE they are illegal - you could have perhaps run them off on the rear???
