Nothing wrong with that tyre, just that most of it has been used to resurface MK roundabouts  . ::)

I'm sure Johnny used a place in Colchester... Settyres possibly :-\

That was quite a while ago though, and ime these places can be like restaurants. If one good operator leaves, the whole place can go downhill quickly.
Keith B recommended Europit at Heybridge, based on good reports from ABS members in the past. I went there a few months ago, and couldn't begin to describe how awful every possible level of the service was, and the Colchester branch I tried the next week wasn't that much better.

Front or rear tyre....?

Could be subframe out of alignment with rear....?

Poly bushes or normal rubber...?

Does the vehicle, the tyre came off, regularly get bumped up a curb...?

Front. And its the age old camber issue, not ever picked up on these tracking/4 wheel alignment tosh.

Poly bushed, and she knows if she bumped up and down kerbs with those crap Irmscher wheels, I'd kill her. Twice.
