Put my SC through Tony's fine tune today and drove off with a great big biggrin.gif on my face!

Not only was the tyre wear even and down to acceptable levels - should be good for a total of 20-24,000ml on SP9000s - but he fixed the steering offset issue at the same time.

Got to be the best deal going. So if you're due a fine tune too, don't put it off any longer. Get your a**e over to Watford and get it seen to.

He such a nice man too blush.gif

I was biggrin.gif aswell. What the fine tune showed was all four tyres had worn .6 of a mm on the insides and all four had worn .4 of a mm on the outsides in 3000 miles biggrin.gif no adverse geometricall wear at all.

what is the "tune" and is there access to it in the Midlands?

Thanks

Tony works his magic doing a geometry set up /recovery. Then after about 2000 miles a fine tune is needed. Then the alignment and geom should be spot on.

If your in the midlands why not pop down to see Tony himself as he is the main man. He's in Watford.

Hmmm I guess my fine tune must be about due. I'd better check the receipt and see.

I went to Tony today for a geometry check-up
Everything ok - it drove well beforehand, drives perfect now

Highly recommended!

Let me explain:- I have understood for years that any geometry setting offerd by the manufacture is only a suggestion, we are all unique. on the initial geom the set-up is back to the book 'excluding' the front camber/ castor positions, then after 2000 miles the car comes back for another geom check, from the tread depths i can then detect the loss and adjust it out, best thing is the 'fine tune' and any adjustments are 'free'.
