That could be the case but looking at the back tyres my impression is that the front is where the damage is done. The back left is in great condition after 6k that I have done from jan. Both fronts put that chamfered wear on and it went from minimal tread to threadbare in a month.

My guess is that he put the fronts on the back as I have done and replaced the front tyres. I reckon the back left is fresh as he had to replace it due to wear.

I am not rejecting your theory - it maybe correct, but I am not sure that is the case.

I have found an ex formula ford mechanic in the area; I am going to see if he can help!

Cheers guys. She did near 300 miles yesterday.... Eeepp... 150 today. Good thing they are on the back! Wish me luck

Mike
