Following my advice Sipie got his geometry done at Falkland (you owe me falkland dudes ) I was told by Nobles that the geometry would 'rip out the inside edges within 2000 miles'

However, falkland assured me that with the bumpsteer mod and geometry being done at the same time they would be adjused to suit each other and that whilst the tyres would wear slightly quicker it would not be too noticeable. Tyre wear seems ok to date

Thanks lads.

Had the tyre wall on my front nearside tyre give out today. Luckily I wasn't going very fast.

Funny thing was I never noticed any difference no sudden pull to the left or vague steering. Pulled off the dual carraigeway and mentioned to the two passengers - do you hear that funny noise?

They both said no, but when I stopped in was completely flat and the inside tyre wall was almost split half-way around the tyre.

They were needing changed soon, but looks like I'm faced with a bill for 4 new tyres

I'll get the bumpsteer and geometry done when I get the tyres.
