I am sure you still got my number.very nice of you ! I would say it would be a tad low for the pits ... ie: the inspection guys like seeing newish tyres, as it "shows" that the car is looked after / money spent on it / not skimped elsewhere... could be worth a try though, but then its another $70-90 for re-inspection if it fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you would say all that in a nice way though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose they might go a little easier on inspecting every little thing on your car....I've never had to go over the pits, so not sure how fussy most people are. All I know is if that was the only thing they questioned on my car, I'd be challenging them big time lol And Luke couldn't just laziness cause uneven wear and not necessarily mean there is something wrong with the car I.e. not getting regular wheel alignments and driving fast through corners..
