Am I just being fussy? – Company car and tyres.

[classicc]

I think I am just being a bit fussy and I haven’t said anything as yet.

But managed to get a puncture in one tyre today, some stray glass.

Beautifully the customer service have picked up my car from the company assessed it and changed the tyre. Amazing service to get it all done while I headed to a meeting.

Anyway for me I always have the same tyres front and back. Obviously they have changed the tyre and put a different make on.

As it is a commuter car it is probably alright, but what do you think?

aesthetically distasteful.

Same speed rating and load index? It will be fine. As long as it isn't a budget and the other tyre on the same axel isn't worn too much, what lease company is it?

If it's a Lease car in my personal experience you get whatever make the Lease Company prefers. My old d HSBC Astra was always fitted with Dunlops.

Plus if you go over 25mph your car will explode.

So its an odd tyre on the same axel?

Frustrates my bordering-Asperger's OCD so much I think I'd push it off a cliff.........

You will in all probability die.

Get onto your MD and give him a good bking and/or slap for this gross violation of your H&S.



On a more serious note, you'll be fine

Nope, I read it as being an odd tyre on the same axle

This is an Axel




This is an Axl

Sorry - light hearted, not a dig

We had a SEAT in the family with a VAG maintenance plan that included tyres (this was a personal car, not a company one) and VAG replaced the front Dunlop SP Sport tyres with Conti Eco's. Even Conti say you shouldn't mix eco and non-eco tyres but VAG's maintenance controller said fine, buy your own tyres!

Mid engine sports car, might be a concern.

Front wheel drive hatchback, really doesn't matter.

Just stick nails in the other three.
