    R36 - tyre wear issues.

    Today, I bought my R36 a first birthday gift - a one year service!

    After 13 months and 13400km, life is good.

    The only drama to report is that the inside of each front tyre is worn - so much so that they are on the verge of becoming illegal.

    The service guys assured me that it's not my fault, and that it is most likely a set up problem from the factory or from the dealer. They reckon that the rest of the front tyres are in great condition.

    The tyres are the standard Dunlop tyres, and while they aren't all that great they certainly should not be worn so much.

    Has anybody had similar issues? I recall reading something about this once before, so I know I'm not the only person having this problem... but I can't remember where I read that it's happened before, let alone find the post in question.

    I'm going to contact the dealer and see if I have any recourse, which is unlikely but possible I guess.

    I was looking at tyres for the GTI on Tyre Rack, now I guess I have to look for R36 tyres too - $$$$

    I have four spare Eagle F1's, but they're some crazy 235/60/18 setup... no thanks!
