IMPORTANT (WIM related) - I was wrong about my tyres
« on: 07 January 2016, 17:09:36 »

Ive made a new topic just to make it clear as I am a fair man (and a muppet, but we are getting ahead of ourselves). If the powers wish to merge them then I shant be offended.

Had the privilege of getting home with some daylight left. Inspected all four tyres on the MV6 and they are all fitted correctly, with the "exterior" markings visible on the outside of all four wheels.

I would like to apologise for any hooha I may have caused, by looking at the whole tread pattern its very strange how the tyres will impact the road with the tread facing opposite directions - but im fairly sure Goodyear know better than me how to design a tyre.
 This is what threw me in the first place, the way the sipes are facing, and I was wrong.

I will be doing some reading up on tyre design so I can try to understand it, for future use.

Im still not happy that the wheels were massively over tightened, but thats not as much of an issue, so it will be polite words to WIM rather than a MrsGK-style apoplectic rage...

As you were, chaps.

As said in tother thread, geo precision, or not, is one thing, but fitting a tyre arse backwards is summat even kwikshit would struggle to do. Glad WIM hadn't for both your and their sakes :y

Ever seen a metric tyre on a normal wheel?
