HELP - tyres keep going egg shaped!!!

[ATGNI]

Already had it done and it was way out but the car had done 7000 miles when I bought it.

I had the 2 rear tyres replaced and get presto things improved. Just had the front ones put to the back and things improved even more but the wobble went to the back.

Moral of the story - never ever buy a car with Pirelli tyres on, they are the biggest pos.

My brand new Supercopa had a wheel wobble at 70 on day one. I have put the rear wheels on the front and it's fine now. The stealers have said that they will ballance them for free but I don't fancy them touching my car at the moment, I want to enjoy it whilst it's still mint and has no stealer carpark rash on it.

Also the steering wheel isn't perfectly straight on a straight bit of motorway. I'm just going to live with it.

That is a sad state of affairs , firstly you shouldnt have to put up with taking delivery of a brand new car with a defect ,
What's worse in none of us have faith in seat dealerships even fixing the slightest issue.
But I'm with you nath , I know that as soon as the keys leave my hands and are in the grasp of the stealers it's a gamble whether your car will actual get fixed or even worse if you get your car back un damaged or not!

im due a service in 1400 miles and quite honestly im dreading it as i honestly dont know were to take the car as all the dealers seem to be garbage! quite tempted to source the parts and go to an independant specialist

shocks.

shocks.

could well be the shock absorbers! this would cause both wheel wobble and tyres going out of shape

Marty, you've hit the nail on the head there mate. I live near hobins and no way would I trust them. After what they did to my Altea after a crash I had to take it back 7 times, each time is a 45 mile round trip. Work near blade in glos now, they have been really good with my last fr so I'll take it to them.

Why don't dealers do a walk round before a service, it would only take 5 mins.

But, above all that, no matter how bad the dealers are I still think the problem starts with the manufacturers and seat can't build a car for toffee!

I'm glad the mk3 Leon looks so pants then I won't want one. Staying well away from seat if I can help it...

I can't help it though! I love the Leon's looks an the btcc/supercopa looks amazing!

Arrrrgggghhhh!!!!! Damn you seat!
