Warrenty: Wheel Alignment

[JamesD27]

my aygo is only 14 months old and i went for some new front tyres last week as mine were looking quite low. when the tyres were off uneven wear was quite evident. when the garage checked the tracking it shows that the two front wheels were toeing in. he said for an Aygo it should be 0 but was something like -0.6 on both.

My question is, is this wear and tear or should i send it to Mr T to recorrect under warrenty?

It's wear and tear, tracking is not covered under warranty

but if its 14 months and the tyres are knacked and so poorly alligned both sides then it may not have been set right in the first place. especially with it being same both sides

You would'nt have got to 14 months if it was wrong from new. It is down to you I'm afraid

You could have put the tracking out driving away from the dealship. Its your fault.

I have had to get my tracking done twice in 2 months once because I hit a pothole and could feel it wasn't quite right.

You should get your tracking done every 6months anyway because you could knock it out far enough to wear the tyres out on the edges,

the other thing is the reading you got is inbetween the tolerance for the aygo, tolerance is a mill. and half.

14 months until needing New tyres? Wow! Lucky sod! Mine lasted 6 months :( I however now have premium low profile tyres that have lasted 9 months and still have hundreds of tread :D
