To the owner of the Jeep Cherokee:

Unless you drive mainly backwards, your tyres are the wrong way round....

Although, at London speeds and considering it will never be used for it's intended purpose, it probably won't make any difference.  :)

A lad from the ABS picked up on a local quick-fit-fitter-es  :-? as she had fitted four tyres to four rim all the same way. After a lot of discussion/persuasion the penny eventually dropped that 2 of them were wrong. She went red and said that she'd aways fitted them like that! :o Doh!

Was that your note, under the wipers in the first photo, telling them of their problem?  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D
& have you checked the other tyres for them?

The other tyres were OK...  ;)
