So I had four new tyres fitted and balanced last Saturday, a 20 mile round trip. Done about 100 miles since then and noticed slight shimmy through the steering wheel. Got to be balance me thinks.
So go back to tyre place today and the fitter (same one as Saturday) says he'll check the balance.
Wait for it...................
Front o/s 10gm out
Front n/s 5 gm out
Rear n/s OK
Rear o/s 15 gm out
When asked why this should be, his answer was "some tyres and cars are like this, they need to settle down". Well he didn't tell me this last Saturday.
So the long and the short of it is - another unecessary 20 mile trip and 1.5 hours of my life wasted through someone else's incompetence.
Why can't people get it right first time, every time? God how I hate numptys!!!!
