MOT Failure

Hi all,

Car failed it's MOT on a tyre and nearside front suspension ball joint. It had been knocking so I thought it might be brought up. Anyway I was happy with the fail list thinking it wouldn't be too big a bill...

I've priced 4 Michelin PS4's up at £800 fitted (ouch). I have 18 inch Bola's 275 35 18. The other 3 are fairly low so thought I'd replace all 4. It currently has Nankangs on which I haven't had an issue with but they are coming out at £580 fitted - thought I may aswell get the Michelins for the sake of another £220.

My mechanic has advised the suspension arm job may be a nightmare due to the bolt being seized - great!!

I used to have a D3 A8 4.2TDI and had the same issue with that re the suspension arm, cost a ridiculous amount.

Good job I love it!

Nankang?! FML. Lucky you’re still alive. Yeah PS4S are a must-have. I assume you meant PS4S.

Yeah PS4S. I've read mixed reviews on Nankang NS2's.

Just checked and it is PS4's, not PS4S's - the S versions aren't available in my size for some reason.

Uniroyal rainsports are also worth a look. Never had any bother with them.

The PS4 appear to be OK, also. There's quite a good direct comparison on YouTube. I've got those Uniroyals on my Volvo. Hard to compare with the RS6, even if they are both lardy barges.

£100 off if you get 4 new tyres from Michelin.

I've used that offer before. Works well.

Totally agree, excellent tyres, I ran three full sets on my 3.0 Touareg and purchased the last set a few months ago prior to selling and have bought plenty Uni's in the past.

Not promoting Camskill over other providers in any way, however I think its worth noting they have a technical fella Brian who replies to any emails very promptly with impartial advice, he very often called me first thing in reply to an overnight email, I used him to great effect when I upgraded my van rims from 16 to 18's and ran into some load rating issues a couple of years ago.
