RS4 Collected - Help Needed

[arnnie]

Tyres are fine for mot - it's 1.6mm depth of the whole tread not including the wear markers.
However, you should have got an advisory if the overall tread is down to 3mm which should be pretty much on the wear marks.
Driving a car on 1.6mm tread in the wet is v-scary. The difference from 3mm is downright crazy and I can't see how they can say 1.6 as a minimum.

You can tell me that again, i drove it back in the pouring rain over 300miles from Manchester to where i live on those tyres and my god could i feel it. Not a nice place to be and like you i think 1.6mm is madness.

You didnt come away with four 3mm worn P Zero tyres by any chance but the alloys are MINT did you? I bought the Daytona one the week before off them and i'm sure the wheels are different!! I'm not joking They had a bit of paint done and it was crap and i'm being kind. I really wanted the car as previously owned by ChrisRS4 on here and knew it was an amazing car. I havnt pulled them about the issues and have sorted them myself except for one. What sort of warranty did you get. My so called warranty hasn't arrive in the post yet. I'm starting to wonder

Anyway, hope you love your new car as much as i love mine.

Cheers, Rob.

Hi Rob,

No i didn't have four 3mm P Zero's i ended up with mint alloys and Michelin tyres, like new on the rears just with no tread on the front tyres. Below is what boss think is acceptable front tyre wear to drive around on, tbh the tyres below are off next week and sooner the better far as i am concerned. The worst part is the below tyres apparently pass a Boss MOT ok, so im slightly worried at what else just slipped through the Boss MOT's now.

I must say i do love the car and Boss in all fairness were very good, just a shame the little things let them down.

Drivers Front.....


Passengers Front....

Can i have ma wheels back lol!! You know what? Thats EXACTLY how my buying experience was at Boss as well. Mice guys, just the little important things spoilt it. I may go back and moan - NICELY!
