several diagonal wear strips? it cant be flat spotting as the tyres actually
being worn down on those diagonals, Theyre all equally spaced throughout the wheel.
Plus we just havent done enough long hot drives like that. hmm :\

Yeah, sigh
When we mentioned this a while back, he seemed like he wanted to shift this onto us for responsibility etc.
However, I doubt that they can blame this on us banging up the wheels etc.
I guess will have to book car in for service and get all that looked at too... I think tyre noise is also a bit up from when the car was new.

might check tire pressures, I have seen this with slightly under-inflated fronts
and hard cornering, you should be able to rotate front to rear and clean them up in a few miles of driving

The front left has curb rash...not me that did it :p
but the others dont...well, not untill yesterday...thats another story but theyre not gouged at all, curb rash on the front left cant cause that pattern on BOTH front tyres could it? and to a lesser degree on the rears.

Hmm, I hope so, usually quite religious with the tyre pressures
but there have been times when ive been lax, and just before checking, its gone into the dealer for long periods and its happened a few times... but I have a feeling it may run a bit deeper. :S
