Hi,
they were not in a position to repair the tyres, they could pump them again and let me off.
Fast fit said no and said that I had no option but to get new tyres which i did.
Hi,
This morning I had two punctures, I managed to get car to fast fit. Fast fit guys take off tyres and find where the punctures were.
I am then told that my tyres are now illegal in that the legal limit had been reached and that they were not in a position to repair the tyres, they could pump them again and let me off.
Knowing a bit about wear and tear of tyres, I looked at them and surveyed where the rubber mark was, in my opinion, yes the tyres were wearing but the tyres were not worn to an extent that they were illegal, I could still feel some thickness over the rubber track. Fast fit said no and said that I had no option but to get new tyres which i did.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is their opinion final?
Can I get a second opinion on the tyres from someone else?
+1i was waiting for you to mention the tread indicator ... That neither you or he mentioned it, suggests (no offense) that neither know how to check ...
I was waiting for you to mention the tread indicator on the tyres themselves. That neither you or he mentioned it, suggests (no offense) that neither know how to check the tyre. besides by the time it gets to the point you can argue about it. Its definately needs changing legally depth or not. Probably the rubber itself had gone off itself. Grip must be dire. Especially if its two or more tyres.
If you had a spare you only needed one tyre fixed. You could buy a can of foam to get you a short distance. Or just a cheap tyre to get by. Let face it if you are driving around on tyres that bad, you're not too fussy about tyres.
