Which is why geometry checks are supposed to be a fairly regular thing!

And dont get fobbed off with tracking.....

Couldn't agree more.  I tend to get mine fully geo'd instead of track/4 wheel alignment, and tend to do annually.  Should be more often if I let Mrs TheBoy drive  

I spent a fortune on tracking and 4 wheel alignments and, despite what the tyre outlets were telling me, its a waste of money in many cases.

Both my Omegas are due, just waiting for the new WIM centre to open.

I spoke to Tony by e-mail today and he reckons it might not be for another 3 weeks yet. :-?

Bugger - I may need another alignment centre then. Tractor wasn't happy about hitting that speed bump that hard. It would appear shagging the tyre wasn't the only damage

Yeah I need to get mine checked and corrected too from those little concrete death humps...

I have had a second tyre blow out in the space of three months. Just got my second new tyre today and the garage informed me that this is common on Omega's.  It’s something to do with the cambers as the wheels are slightly tilted inwards, causing more wear on the inner wall than the rest of the tyre.  Has anyone else experienced this and what have your done to put this right??

Stay clear of second hand tyres , especially if you drive on motorways, and get the geometry done as previously mentioned
