Be carefull when buying tyres they don't have an outside then, those Amar has run down to the wires have an inside so couldn't be rotated just moved to the back.

Amar if you've not had these renew'd yet do your tyre fitter a favour and tell him before he undoes the wheel nuts and grabs the wheel with both hands. As i can tell you from experience it hurts loads.

Oh and if Mr Plod had seen those you could hae been in for 3 points and a fine regardless of who long you been driving, it's your responsibility to check, "Mr MOT would just say they must have been changed after i tested it" (depending where you go) and TBH the rest of the tyre doesn't look like it's got much life in it anyway.

I used to get this on the 8 but i had the tracing adjusted slightly (tow in) to cancel out the affect
