aren't you supposed to replace all 4 tyres at the same time on 4 wheel drive vehicles??

could be a difference between the two brands you have on there  :undecided:

get the tracking checked and get the wheels re-balanced and go from there

The Tracking was checked when they were replaced, the rear driverside was replaced a couple of weeks ago when the valve went on it and the rear passenger side has got tons of tread on,

I know your supose to change all 4 at the same time :p

im going to go to the tyre place after work to get them to check the balancing

don't forget that temperatures are dropping now so that will have an effect on the tyres performance

I noticed a big drop off in performance last year when i was running the old GSD3's on my Monty2's - anything below 5C and you had to be that little bit extra careful :afro:

Well hopefully it is just a silly weight that has fallen off, will check the tyre pressures as well, did a round trip to reading the day they were fitted to see Guy

I had that with mine after i had two new fronts - a weight didn't fall off but ended up in a different place - it was fine until you sat at motorway speeds  :sad:

Got them re-balanced last week and all is well  :smiley:
