Title: Jean's New Shoes
Post by: Doggie 1 on November 29, 2016, 00:55:51

I had four new tyres fitted to Jean yesterday, at 198,000 kms.
Kumhos.
Including wheel alignment they quoted $440 but ended up doing it for $400.   :D

Good on the road and a hell of a lot quieter than the old, worn tyres.
Still no Jaguar but certainly acceptable. It's driving like a new one.
One thing I have noticed though, and I don't know whether I should go back to them, is that the person who did the wheel alignment has done them as a 2007-2012 FD, whereas it should have been a 2012 onwards GD.
Would these be different specs and likely to cause any problems?   :undecided:

Already seen it Dazz.
Been trying to find some figures.
Haven't yet, but I seem to recall they're slightly different.  I'd go back and ask them to check. They should be able to access their machine's recommended settings for each without having to hook the car back up.
