atturo tyres

i thought i would start a new thread, as ive just this minute heard back from my mechanic.

ive been running atturo tyres now 22 months and done about 60,000 km in that time.

a few months ago i got the car lowered using eibach springs, back and front.

not long after i noticed that the tyres seemed noisier that usual, and saw that i was getting this sort of cupping wear on the rear inner edges, so today i took it to the mechanic to check the rear alignment, and he decides that its not alignment but the rear shocks so he orders a new set of bilsteins, while in the process of fitting them, the mechanic notices that the rear tyre inner edges are showing signs of delaminating.

he says it seems the tyres cant carry the weight, now that seems weird seeing they are 22 months old.

so he is saying he will investigate further

maybe im getting new tyres sooner than i thought.
