Hello

Just discovered forum last night after my S60 failed it's MOT yesterday.

Has 18" nebula wheels and sports and winter pack, 04/53.

Checked out the VOSA link provided by one of you guys but it says there should be no tyre contact when 'static' and this is the reason that it failed according to the tester.

The other, and far more serious problem is that the tyres were so badly worn on the inner portion that I actually got a flat tyre as the rubber had completely worn through to the wire part of the tyre!

Whilst I can appreciate there has always been a bit of a rubbing sound on full lock this surely can't be right can it? man a t volvo told me it was a 'quirk' of the car!

It's now 3 days before Christmas and I'm waiting for Rybrook's in Chester to ring me back and sort it all out - although I won't be holding my breath.

Has anyone else had catastrophic tyre wear in under one year with the nebula wheels?
