Luke any updates mate, how's the car, the tyres, the alignment etc
Hey mate
no update yet, made it to Darwin and have ordered two new tyres but they are taking a long time to arrive from Adelaide as no one stocks them here - once the new rubber is on I’ll get a new wheel alignment just in case
right now the ‘melted’ one from the original pics is my spare and the other one is still on the car, so yep I’m pretty well house bound at the moment
nil response from Pirelli despite two emails
You should have ordered a full set of tyres or at least 3 of them because that "melted" one is ruined and isn't any value as a spare, It would also be illegal to use anyway[thumbsupbig]Quote:

Age might be a contributor given the low K’s
I'd put money on that its an alignment issue
If everyone wants to place their bets I’ll confirm soon
yep trout, ive got three brand new ones on the car and one bad one, so I’ve order two new to replace the spare as well.

My attempt to win the prize is as follows:
The alignment won't be bad enough to fully explain the problem.
Pirelli won't acknowledge that there was any problem with the tyre.
In other words, at the end of this, you still won't have a definitive answer.
Least your stuck on holidays in Darwin. I'm working at home with a 6 yr old and a 4 yr old. Wanna swap??
