Just ordered two new F1 Assys from Tyre traders.com £187 fitted. Absolute bargain I think. old tyres getting sent back to Goodyear on Saturday for investigation.
I'll be very interested to hear what they have to say. They were in denial when I spoke to them and were having none of it.
mate, how you sending them back? free courier?
that is a great price, i might look at that myself, cheers for the link

No problem mate. The procedure for sending them back is included in the reply from Goodyear. I have attached the relevant section. If you want a full copy of the e-mail please don't hesitate to ask.
"We offer a tyre inspection service for any tyre dealer or member of the public".
"Vehicle main agents and tyre dealers can send tyres back for inspection if they have an account with us. If they do not have an account the return can be made through their wholesaler who will then arrange to return the tyre here on their behalf. With regards to returns it is always best to give the product to the person who took your money for it when new. This best covers you under the sale of goods act".
The place thats fitting my new tyres said they have an account so should be fairly straight forward.

its common for tyres to wear more on the inside then the outside due to the wheel geometry of most modern cars. This usually becomes excessive due to worn suspension components ie bushes, especially at the rear where no blame can be apportioned to tracking being off and the steering action. Worn bushes can introduce excessive negative camber.
I would be very surprised if there is any fault associated with the tyres.

Too many catalogued problems, from well maintained cars, for that not to be the case imho.
I have F1's and they are fine.
This thread is now discussing 3 or 4 suspension and tyre issues and has become a confusing jumble of fact, fiction, assumption and semi-related issues. Usefull stuff......
