Car went in for an oil/filter service (2 years old 15500 miles) just recently at Horton Cupra Lincoln. I knew that the tyres were getting close to replacement and I do intend to replace them in the next 2 months or so. The report I got seemed very over the top. They said it needed an air con regas (and cabin filter) but there is nothing wrong with the air con as it is still very cold. The tyres were 2.7mm, 3.3mm, 3.1mm & 4.4mm. The 2.7 came back as urgent attention, and the rest as advisories. I've put off the air con work until next year and the tyres will be changed next month sometime. It just seems that the language they used made it look far worse than it was.

On the subject of tyres, being a 4-drive (Haldex) do they have to be replace as pairs on the same axle or all 4?
 
Unfortunately dealers seem to be finding 'extra' work to be done, it is advised to change the cabin (pollen) filter every 2 years, especially in dusty conditions.
As for tyres you can just replace them as pairs, putting the new tyres on the rear.
