Star Rated Tyres...

[simpic]

Hello,

Just had a call from my local main dealer. The car is in for new alloys. It's third set! It's the 20 inchers which are suffering from corrosion near the centre caps.

The service lady has told me that the front tyres I have are not star rated and the vibrations will cause issues with the transfer box if I don't change them. I have no idea on this one so looking for opinions.

She also told me that two of the wheel bolts are sheared and they can not put any new nut on them as there is no thread left. Looks like this may have happened when the tyres got changed at a local garage. I doubt if I can ever prove that now so I'll have to replace the hubs. £600 is what they are quoting for two hubs.

Is replacing the hubs something a normal garage / specialist could do?
