Power Upgrade

Featured Replies

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...

Mabey more bitching would help the situation?

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

It is a Friday Joke Thread.

Offcourse he is not serious.

I would try to claim a tyre warranty from your tyre company

the problem lies with your tune...

LOL Blast the tuner mate, that's just totally unacceptable... who the f*ck gave him the right to fry YOUR tyres with you driving of course. :idunno:

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!

I just finished reading the "other" thread, you guys crack me up.

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
