    So this tyre wear is down to the previous owner. I mean the extraordinary amount of miles they have lasted.

    Joe, I saw that 72 year old driving 2 years ago !!…



    No nothing.

    No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

    No tackiness.

    Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

    Innit?

    Morning mate!! I would doubt very much if a Ford garage would have Hunter 4 Wheel Alignment equipment?? You’ll probably have to go somewhere else!!

    Cheers, Marc.

    33.9mpg as an average on RS has got to be the best mpg/highish mileage out there. Bet when you first gave it some throttle there was some soot coming out of exhaust

    Had a quote for 4 wheel alignment £44.95 up to £110 depending on casters and cambers that need adjusting…….does this sound about right?

    @Nateodog, did you put it down to anything specific that you did for your tyre to split?

    Seen similar on a work mates car, not an RS but same thing happened to one of his tyres. He thinks it was from straddling one of those speed bumps they put in the middle of the road you can ignore if your car is wide enough!
