Hi Everyone,

I had my car tuned the other day to a respectable 375 rwkw. 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...

You have 375rwkw and you are worried about tyre wear? And you dont know if the fact that the car has ~500kw has anything to do with it? :idunno: Ha Ha

Yeah I agree! 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!

Hi,

I tune my own car as everyone knows, and I am having this problem, I can't relate on how my tuning is firstly effecting my tyres?

I think you have brought up a valid point which needs to be addressed with your tuner.. When you find out please let me know what the fix was..

I might have to return it back to standard
