Why has it not been driven hard?

Shame on you!

Andy

I wouldn't be too worried, Get your 4 wheel geometry checked, I had mine set as close as possible to the prodrive settings from SIDC and it is less tail happy like that.

No it's not mormal, mine did the same so I had the tracking checked and swapped the front with the rear. 16K miles and they are still holding up fine. Should be good for at least 20K unless you fit ppp.

My last 3 cars have all done the same, seem to come from the factory with the wrong tracking. I should learn by now to get the car checked on arrival.

My OEM tyres lasted 7Kmiles (5kmiles std + 2Kmiles with PPP) D

PPP certainly helps to knock the lumps of the Black things
