I thought it was only me with this problem...far too many similar complaints here for this to be just coincidental!!! Perhaps LPR as one of the site sponsors could act or at least ask some questions on our behalf rather than us just complaining as individuals. I intend phoning my dealer tomorrow but I think collectively we can surely make a bigger noise?

I was thinking that to, if i had a SC i'm sure they would be slicks in no time

Do you all agree that the tyre does look a little light in material on the outer edge from new, saying that i did nearly 30k miles in my old rrs on one set and there was plenty of tread left

Must admit though i will be looking at the car as soon as i get home MY10 3.0 TDV6 HSE, Zermatt Silver, 20" Diamond Turned Alloys, Factory Privacy Glass, Premium Leather, Contrast Stiching, Side Steps, Etc

You are absolutely right they do look light on tread compared to other brands...it wouldn't be so bad if they were £50 a piece to replace but the cheapest quote that I could get like for like was £260!!!! From what I can see there is no way they will reach 10,000 miles let alone 30,000 which makes it a ridiculous choice as a replacement when I do eventually have to change them.. which at this rate could be twice a year!!!!

The conti's on my car also are right down on the fronts n/s edge but 5mm in the centre

Going to need to swap them soon due to it, when mentioned during it's service she said conti have hardly any tread on the edge to start with

glad I drive like an old man and my tyres last forever  purple people eater
