Pop in to your local MOT centre, wifeys Pinin has similar issues but iti s aparently not an MOT failure
That said I'd not want to drive hard on those

BTW did you know it is Ozone that causes this

if i could fit a tyre in the boot i would but i cant, i will certainly be taking lots of pictures and sending them to Aston, i wonder how it would have been handles should it have failed its MOT inside tjhe warrenty period

right o

they have arrived woop. cant belive the difference in the feel of the rubber, sounds daft the old ones feel like concrete to the toutch. I really want to replave the reads as well now but there isnt really a need on those ones.

Aston wanted £25 + vat per tyre to fit.

A bit late to this but I have often used Event Tyres in your neck of the woods.
They come out to you, are competitive with Camskill after fitting and are very careful to do a good job.

Laura's in the trade so she ain't gonna get cheaper than that, no way no.

I've heard good things about Event Tyres, though

Would you advise taking Karen's X5 to Buckley for Geo and a tyre check ??

What Geo settings are there ??

I've even been on the BMW General forum for tips but I'm too shy to post anything

You will soon

Good link...I also followed on to BMWLand...great site and quite a bit better than the PH one

ironically camskill were £49 cheaper per tyre than i can get through work. Madness. But fitting and belencing is gratis so all is good

Once your new tyres are run in, be careful you dont push the rear end too hard, i would imagine your car will tend to oversteer quite a lot on the limit now, particularly in the wet, im sure you will be fine, but just a note of caution is all.
