This morning I took a look at my rear tyres and realised that they are bald! They were new before I had the upgrade done. Do you think that the power increase contributed to the excessive tyre wear?My tuner didn't warn me about excessive tyre wear. Should I take the car back to him and complain?My car is blowing some kind of white smoke when I accelerate also. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated...

And you dont know if the fact that the car has ~500kw has anything to do with it?

Did he advise you that these mods may shorten the life of your tyres? I bet he only said that it might but nothing definite or set in stone right! What an f*cktard. If I were you I would definitely be taking that bastage to court. Sue his ass bigtime!

When you find out please let me know what the fix was..I might have to return it back to standard Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39631-power-upgrade/#findComment-593836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
