Mot and 2 Tyres on Monday!

[IanMcL]

Booked at Kwikfit.
Heart in mouth!

Michelin Primacy tyres, before asked.

 

[NorfolkMustard]

I'd get the tyres at Micheldever and go anywhere else instead of kwikfit for an MOT

 

[Asterix187]

I get primacy acoustics fitted. Buy them from black circle and get them fitted locally. About £220 a tyre.

I get primacy acoustics fitted.

I had acoustics fitted at first all-round-replace. Not sure they are quieter, per se, and I immediately noticed a "drumming" not there before ... but I've got used to it now.

Not a reason not to fit them, but not sure they made any tangible difference. To my ear at least ...

I got mine from www.camskill.co.uk and had the local independent "nothing is too much trouble" guy balance and fit (£10 a corner I think).

I'd be interest how they jack up the Tesla for MOT purposes. My CPO Tesla came MOT'd but can see see there is some battery edge damage - only a plastic trim but it makes me wonder how garages do it and do they care and do they actually know. The jack points on the Tesla are a daft size - ideally need jack pads.

That is my concern, too.

The tyres - 2 for £367 fitted and a free dashcam (not sure that will be of use).

10% discount and KwikFit were cheapest, at this moment! Tried all the others....much more expensive.

They sometimes put car on lift and then use a secondary slide jack that straddles the lift to raise the cars suspension for checking bushes, links. and boots; just make sure they are aware that they must not lift on the battery and all should be fine.

I used camskill before - they were great.

Re the acoustic option on the tyres - this has negligible effect on lower frequuencies but does reduce the higher frequencies a bit, new tarmac can be almost eerily quiet. reducing higher frequencies might explain why the lower frequency drumming became more apparent?

Could well be, thanks for that.

The good news:
Two tyres. All ok!
I wrote out the detail from the manual, for them!

Bad news: No MOT tester today!!! Why book it in!

Now Wednesday am.

Cheers all.
