Hi
Some advise please:
At my last service, 10,000 miles ago on my C220 Cdi Coupe, I had 2 new front tyres fitted by the Merc Dealer, Continentals.
I have just noticed that the outside of the Front NS tyre is totally worn away, the Off Side has some wear but nothing like the NS.
Went back to the dealer and they have said I need a Geometry check which will cost £100, plus a I will need to new tyre to do the Geometry check
My questions are:
1) Is this the only way to see what the problem is? (I have read on here that to get the tracking right needs specialist equipment and not any semi trained tyre fitter)
2) And am I being taken for a ride, is the £100 a reasonable price?
Help and advise much appreciated.
Andy
