They'll say stop doing burnouts ya freeloader  :lol:

Nah it's tricky as they have to take your word for it that you've not been misusing your tyre.

But they may ask for it back for testing and offer you a brand new pair for free or for cheaps, I've heard of this happening before, don't think it was Avon though.

good luck bud  :icon_thumright:

 [rofl] Cheers Kev

Yeah they will have to take my word for it.

The tyre has never done a burn out and not been on track. I do slide the back a bit when backshifting though [whistle] Dont tell them though.

I have asked them if they think it may be a bad batch, which in fairness it could well be. :dontknow:

Who knows, all i know is its fooked :lol:

Yeah maybe you should of mate.

I know yours were as bad as mine or worse even but yours is a specific Track tyre and mine is a road tyre.

They are both very crap mileage though!!

funny how all that raving about the tyres turned to tears so quickly, sounds like they are far too soft and no real use in the real world afterall. I've heard of tyres lasting 1200 miles which is bugger all but 600 is taking the piss.  [wall]

Hope they listen and respond accordingly else they will get loads of bad PR and no one will buy them  :icon_thumright:
