Hello everyone - although I've been a CC member for many years, I've never been on here before so forgive me if I'm posting the wrong sort of topic or in the wrong place.
Im a recent MOT, my front offside tyre was posted as an advisory - so I fear it may well be a fail next time.
The tyre is an Avon AV12 van 109/107S, one of two fitted to my Fiat Chausson Welcome 85 in August '19, just over 4,000 miles ago - there's .loads of tread left. Then issue is cracks in the sidewall close to the wheel rim. The nearside tyre is fine and the older Continentals on the back are likewise showing no signs of this.
I have taken it back to the supplying company whom I won't mention at the moment and to be fair, their manager in not back till next week so I don't have a final word about whether they will accept liability - meantime I just wondered if anyone has had a similar experience in the past, and how they went about getting a good outcome.
Once again, apologies if this is not the right subject for discussion
Thanks
Alisdair
