Why is this car a constant source of trouble?

Result! hope GY reimburse you promptly,which begs the question,what are your OZ 'leggies shod in the interim?
Are you getting those *wear* marks on the inside too?Or just outside/shoulder? Looks like some kind of sharp object or heat build up fault.
F1's are pretty soft,(personally I think the side walls could do with a bit of stiffening).Mine will start to *show* wear with even the slightest imbalance in camber,toe-in,tyre pressure etc.Which is a expensive geometry indicator

Basically, I buy another set of four tyres, slap them on, and send these four back. When GY agree that they're falling to bits, they give me the money back.

It will be going back on the jig shortly for another tracking session, but I'm sure she's fine.
