They said the wear on the outer edge is too severe it wasnt roadworthy, I cant drive it away in unroadworthy condition, insisted I had to replace it. I had just bought new tyres 6 mths ago, and they wont replace just the one worn tyre, I had to buy a pair at minimum. So flat broke this weekend Im gutted I dont even feel like driving the thing anymore. Lesson for all: keep up with your regular wheel alignments and rotations. Every 6 months or whenever you get an oil change, rotate your tyres. If your car develops any alignment issues, attend to it immediately dont let it slide
until a time thats convenient for you or it may end up costing you a whole lot more!
I had problems with car pulling left too, I had 225 45 18 on the stock rims and went to 3 different places and had 5 wheel allignments in 6 months inc. pedders and no one could fix it. The printout suggested it should be ok but it would pull. Now I have the new wider wheels with the same rubber it's perfect.
Got a tiny scratch on the side of my front bumper now as well. Sad days.
they ended up doing a SST service, brake & coolant fluid replacement and changed a belt near the alternator. Plus they have ordered replacement interior air vent under warranty due to mine not holding. Today was an expensive day.
