FWIW I'm having one of my rear Michelin PS4 replaced on Monday. Despite it still having over 3mm tread it's nearly 7 years old, has micro cracks, a sawtooth pattern on the inner shoulder and it's getting noisy like a worn wheel bearing. Not taking a chance as I'm doing a continental road trip next month.

I should really swap the tyres between front and back once a year to even out the wear.

Thanks!

Depends on how well the wires are seated.

Nominal is usually around 2-3mm, but they can be higher or lower. It should create a short when you remove enough friction material to expose the wire and wear that down.

Just add my bit.

I've only had my car yearly serviced at VW and from one of the invoices they mistakenly gave me before I told them I had a service plan they used;

Shell Helix Ultra Professional AV-L 0W-30 - which is 504.00/507.00

Interestingly the Shell 1 litre top-up bottle I bought looks exactly the same as the genuine VW bottles they sell.

Johnsons VW who now own all trust group dealers have put up labour rates to £140 per hour now.

Extended warranty is a no brainer imo.

My local VW (Marshalls) is currently £156 per hour... 

Madness at that rate and mostly sh!t service!
