Well, I had my second variable service today at Wayside Audi in MK and had a mixed day really.
Good points
The results are:
Front Right - Outer 4mm / Middle 5mm / Inner 2mm*
Front Left - Outer 3mm / Middle 4mm / Inner 2mm*
*The above wear has been achieved in around 4000-5000 miles only on TOYO Proxies T1-S.
As this wear rate is on the innermost of the tyre - I must confess to actually not picking up on this issue and to be honest to the naked eye it doesn't look like it is wearing uneven.
If I am right and this issue is down to the suspension settling down, then I would advocate that anyone with modified suspension should check theirs out.
But "wear", (bad pun intended), to go from here? Another trip from MK to Manchester to Awesome at the cost of time/fuel/fees or do I take up my local Audi dealers offer of four wheel alignment at a nice price of £150.00 plus VAT...
Any suggestions on more local to MK/cheaper options would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Darren

- Second variable service including brake fluid change £305.58. (Not too bad for a main dealer if you ask me; though the car is over 3 years old now and discounts seem more readily available than they once where).
- Free MOT (courtesy of Audi UK) - £50.00+ saving.
- No major/minor faults, (with one exception) - sailed through MOT.
- Uneven tyre wear at the front end.
The results are:
Front Right - Outer 4mm / Middle 5mm / Inner 2mm*
Front Left - Outer 3mm / Middle 4mm / Inner 2mm*
