tuono Member 312 Member For: 14y 3m 24d Posted 17/04/12 05:31 AM Share Posted 17/04/12 05:31 AM Just had the 30k service and Ford reckon the tyres need replacing. To be honest I hadnt looked for awhile. I can understand the rears being shagged , but the fronts? (not that Id replace just the rears) My first 19's. Is this typical? Sorry for another tyre thread.

Other than heavy acceleration, the rears live a much easier life normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because the stock suspension is at the end of its life before you change your first set of tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuono Member 312 Member For: 14y 3m 24d Posted 17/04/12 08:05 AM Author Share Posted 17/04/12 08:05 AM Yep 30,000 and 1.5 years, spot on. My Expensive Daewoo rears always went first, Expensive Daewoo rotated them at each service and I got 50k on the SS Crewman. They said the front camber is what does it on the Falcon. Sounds normal then. Anyhoo, new tyres are needed. Mmmmm choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do all the bushes in the front end, you won't believe the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
