I think I will go to the dealer and see what he has to say.I have hit no gutters or anything, so it must be a normal factory fitted feature, just like all the other features my car has Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14182-tyres-replacmentrecall/page/3/#findComment-191389 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 4m 3d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/11/04 05:59 AM Share Posted 26/11/04 05:59 AM I just got back from the dealers to submit my long list of warranty items and to look at the tyre. They said to take it to a Dunlop tyre place as they can inspect the tyre and replace it. This means that you do not need to go to your dealer to have it replaced.......there is a god Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/14182-tyres-replacmentrecall/page/3/#findComment-191443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
